Timesheet Template
A free, editable Excel spreadsheet built for freelancers and agencies billing clients by the hour — not a generic all-purpose template.
Billing by the hour without a timesheet means reconstructing your week from memory when it’s time to invoice — which is how billable hours quietly go untracked and unbilled.
This spreadsheet template tracks date, client/project, task, start and end time, with hours calculated automatically and a running total for the week.
This template is provided for general informational purposes and does not constitute legal, financial, or HR advice. Have it reviewed by a qualified professional before using it with a real client or employee.
Free, editable, ready to fill in. Enter your email and it'll start downloading right away.
Once this is in place, startbuddi for freelancers handles the client, invoicing, and follow-ups that come after — automatically.

Does this calculate hours automatically?
Yes — enter a start and end time and the Hours column calculates itself, with a total at the bottom of the sheet.
Can I use this for multiple clients in the same week?
Yes — the Client/Project column lets you track multiple engagements side by side in the same weekly sheet.
