Project time tracking that shows you the margin, not just the hours

Toggl connects project time tracking with the work you planned. Track time manually, automatically, with a timer, Pomodoro or calendar events—then see estimates vs. actuals, capacity and profitability without rebuilding reports in a spreadsheet.

Timer, manual entry, Pomodoro and calendar-to-entry, on web, desktop and mobile

Time logged against the task you planned, so estimates vs. actuals are clear

Billable rates, labour costs, profitability and project dashboards on the same hours

A timesheet tells you where the hours went. It should tell you whether they were worth it.

Most teams plan and track time in separate tools, then reconcile them without knowing whether estimates were realistic, teams have capacity, or projects made money. Toggl keeps the plan and tracked hours together, so the answers are already there.

Track time against the plan

Track from a task using a timer, manual entry, Pomodoro, calendar event, desktop auto-tracker, browser extension, mobile or desktop app. Because estimates and tracked hours live on the same task, estimates vs. actuals, workload and utilization require no exports.

Catch overruns and keep time clean

Set alerts for project estimates and fixed-fee budgets, and pin milestones to key dates. Use required fields, reminders and timesheet approvals to keep entries complete, then round hours to match how you invoice.

Turn tracked hours into business answers

Add billable rates and labour costs to calculate revenue, cost, profit and margin by project or client. Handle fixed fees and multiple currencies, then explore Time Logs, Summary, Workload, Utilization, Profitability reports and project dashboards.

Bring your tools and history with you

Import CSV files from Harvest, Clockify, ClickUp, Asana and Teamwork, with a preview before anything lands. Use two-way Jira and Asana sync, the public API or MCP to connect Toggl with the rest of your workflow.

“I didn’t have clarity over where my resources were going or how long I was spending on things — which makes pricing hard. The bigger challenge is capacity: how booked am I, how much work do I have, when’s my next availability?”

— Thomas Unsworth, Founder, Launch Web Design

My team is used to Excel timesheets. Do I need time tracking and billing software?
Yes, Excel is easy to use (and almost free). But it’s not without limitations.
First, they are not 100% accurate. Second, your managers must spend hours getting your team to fill them up and convert these timesheets into invoices. And third, it’s almost impossible to gain any insights from them. Toggl Track helps you overcome all three challenges.

FAQs

What is project time tracking?

Project time tracking records how much time your team spends on specific projects and tasks. It helps you compare estimates with actual hours, monitor budgets, manage capacity, invoice accurately and understand project profitability.

How does Toggl’s project time tracking work?

Track time directly against the tasks and projects you planned using a timer, manual entry, Pomodoro, calendar events or automatic tracking. Estimates and actual hours stay connected, so there’s no need to reconcile separate planning and time-tracking tools.

Can I compare estimated and actual project hours?

Yes. Toggl keeps estimates and tracked time on the same tasks and projects, making it easy to see how long work was expected to take, how long it actually took and where future estimates need to improve.

Can Toggl alert me before a project goes over budget?

Yes. Set alerts for project time estimates or fixed-fee budgets and choose when Toggl should notify you. This helps you catch potential overruns while there’s still time to adjust the scope, schedule or resources.

Can I track billable hours and project profitability?

Yes. Mark time as billable or non-billable, set billable rates and add labour costs. Toggl uses the same tracked hours to calculate revenue, cost, profit and margin by project or client.

Can my team submit timesheets for approval?

Yes. Team members can submit weekly timesheets, while approvers can approve them or request changes with a comment. Approved timesheets become read-only for the submitter, keeping finalized records protected.

Can I track project time automatically?

Yes. The desktop app can start timers using keyword rules and records a private activity timeline that you can turn into time entries. You can also track through the browser extension, calendar, web, desktop and mobile apps.

Can I import project and time-tracking data from another tool?

Yes. Import directly from Toggl Track or use CSV files from Harvest, Clockify, ClickUp, Asana, Teamwork and others. You can also use two-way Jira and Asana sync or connect other workflows through the API and MCP.

Is Toggl’s project time tracking free?

Yes. Toggl is free for up to 3 users, with unlimited projects, tasks and time tracking. Starter adds estimates, budgets, billable rates and exports, while Premium adds labour costs, profitability, utilization, approvals and project dashboards.
