Hi ClickUp Team,

I'd love to request a feature that would be incredibly helpful for cost tracking and project budgeting within ClickUp.

🎯 The Problem:

Currently, there's no built-in way to associate an hourly rate with individual team members and then automatically calculate task costs based on time tracked or manually logged hours. This gap creates friction when trying to manage budgets and track actual costs in real-time across tasks and projects.

💡 Proposed Solution:

Hourly Rate Field per User:

Add a new field where Workspace admins can assign an hourly rate to each team member.

This can be either a global setting or project-specific override.

Cost Calculation Functionality:

Enable an automatic cost computation based on the hourly rate and time tracked (via ClickUp’s time tracking feature).

Alternatively, allow this cost to also be computed when someone manually enters the number of hours in a field (e.g., a custom "Time Spent" field).

Dynamic Cost Field:

Introduce a new computed custom field called “Cost” (or allow a formula field) that multiplies the user’s hourly rate by their tracked or entered time.

This field should update automatically based on changes to time or rate.

📊 Use Case Example:

Jane has an hourly rate of $50.

She logs 3 hours on Task A using the time tracker.

The system automatically records a cost of $150 for that task.

If she instead enters “3” into a “Manual Hours” field, the same cost gets computed dynamically.

✅ Benefits:

Helps teams stay on top of project budgets.

Useful for internal cost tracking, client billing, and reporting.

Reduces the need for external spreadsheets or manual calculations.

This would be a game-changer for project-based businesses, agencies, and consulting teams using ClickUp.

Looking forward to your consideration!

Best,

Tarif
