Each recorded hours entry in Harpoon is automatically given a status label based on project type and billing status (e.g. Billed, Non-Billable, etc.) so you can see at a glance where each entry stands.
There's the hourly rate you charge your client. But Harpoon can tell you what your actual hourly rate was for a project by looking at both the billable and non-billable costs that went into the project.
