Know which projects
are actually making you money.

You can type a cost rate and a billable rate per person, per project, or as an org default, and Harmny resolves the most specific match first. Or you can derive cost rates from compensation data already in Harmny: monthly salary divided by that person's effective monthly hours, multiplied by an overhead factor you set (1.2x by default, adjustable) to cover taxes and benefits. Effective hours already account for anyone working below full capacity, so a part-timer's derived rate is not a surprise. You review the derived rate per person before anything is written, and nothing is ever applied automatically in the background.

No. The salary figure itself never leaves the calculation. What gets saved to the billing rate card is the derived hourly cost rate, not the monthly salary it came from. Someone with access to view cost rates sees a dollar-per-hour number on a project, the same as if you had typed it in yourself.

Three tiers. Admins and HR, or anyone granted the cost-rates capability explicitly, see full numbers: labor cost, expenses, cost price, margin, and margin percent. Managers get a middle tier by default: a pricing verdict (underpriced, fair, overpriced), a health index relative to the org average, and a trend arrow, with no dollar figures attached. That tier can be turned off org-wide. Everyone else sees hours and revenue only. A project with fewer than three people who have ever logged time to it shows no health signal at all, in any tier below full, so a two-person team's margin can never be worked backward into an individual's pay.

Each pricing type is judged on the basis that actually makes sense for it. Hourly work is judged on the period you are looking at: revenue and cost both move with your date filter. Fixed-fee work is judged on the whole contract, lifetime, because a fixed price buys the entire engagement, not one month of it. A retainer is judged on run rate: this month's recurring revenue against the trailing 30 days of cost, regardless of what date range you have open, so a subscription that launched last week is not marked underpriced just because a full build went into its first invoice. A retainer also carries a separate payback figure showing whether the cost sunk into building it has been earned back yet.

Mark the project Internal and it is tracked for cost only. Revenue, margin, and verdict all come back empty, not zero. A zero would read as "this failed to earn anything," which is a different and false statement about work that was never priced to begin with. Internal projects are also left out of every rollup that means "is the business healthy" (the org baseline, the health index) so a few internal projects with real costs and no revenue can never drag down every client's numbers.

A standalone profitability tool only knows what you tell it people cost, so someone maintains a cost-rate spreadsheet by hand and it drifts the moment a raise happens. Harmny already holds compensation data for running reviews and career ladders, so it can suggest a cost rate instead of asking you to invent one, and the same system that reports a project's margin is the one running that person's growth. We are not trying to replace a full PSA or your accounting system, there is no invoicing or GL sync here, but you do not need a second product just to know whether a client is profitable.

Time logged against tasks on the project board. Clock-in and attendance tracking are a separate module for work-hour compliance and do not feed cost. Only time entries logged to a task count toward what a project cost to run.
