How Time Entry Rounding Works When Using the Timer

How Productive rounds the time you track with the timer to the nearest minute, and where billable time rounding comes in.

When you stop the timer, Productive rounds the tracked time to the nearest full minute.

How It Rounds

  • 30 seconds or more into a minute rounds up. A timer stopped at 43 minutes 31 seconds records 44 minutes.

  • Less than 30 seconds rounds down. A timer stopped at 43 minutes 29 seconds records 43 minutes.

If you start and stop the timer several times on the same time entry, each session is rounded separately and added to the entry.

Billable Time Rounding

Your budget can also round billable time, for example up to the nearest 15 minutes. That rounding is applied when you stop the timer too. It changes the billable time only, not the time you actually worked.
