Timesheet Generator

Log hours by day and bill them at your rate.

A timesheet records the hours worked on each day of a period. Enter hours as 7.5 or 7:30, add a rate if you bill by the hour, and the total hours and amount are worked out for you — then download a PDF to send or attach to an invoice.

Log each day’s hours, and the timesheet totals the hours and the amount owed. Enter time as 7.5 or 7:30.

How to fill in a timesheet

  1. Add your business and who the timesheet is for.
  2. Enter the employee or contractor and the period it covers.
  3. Add an entry for each day or task with the hours worked.
  4. Add an hourly rate to calculate amounts, or switch rates off to log hours only.
  5. Sign, get it approved, and download the PDF.

What to include on a timesheet

  • The worker’s name and the client or employer
  • The project and the period covered
  • Each date with a short description of the work
  • Hours worked per day
  • The hourly rate and amount, if you bill by the hour
  • Total hours and total amount

When to use a timesheet

Use a timesheet for hourly work — freelancing, contracting, staff hours — so the client sees exactly how the total was reached. Send it with your invoice, or use it for payroll and project records.
