This is the amount that you should ask to the customer if you charge hourly
- Hourly revenue
-
This is the ratio between worked hours and project budget. It's a sort of flag to show if you're spending to much time on the project:
-
If this ratio is more than project hourly cost, the text is green
-
If this ratio is less than project hourly cost, the text is red

Project budget and hourly cost As you can see, you should always add the project budget and its hourly cost.
In this way you can have a sort of indicator to know how "well" the project is going and maybe, if you're working with a fixed budget, have a little "chat" with your customer.

The edit project screen is organized into tabs, for better handling:
- Project Details

![[Tip]](/media/com_docimport/admonition/tip.png)
Set the prices! Remember to save the prices you apply to this project: Price (intended as budget) and Hourly charge. Set the latter one even if you're not charging on hourly base: we'll use them to know how much profitable this project is.
In this way you can analize them: if you've worked for 40 hours and you usually charge 25$ at hour, but you have a budget of 400$... well now you know that there is something wrong.

Security Don't worry about saving your password: data are stored encrypted inside the database, so they will be useless without the correct key
