Pricing your services
How to set up your client pricing in Field. Each client is priced independently — pick the model that fits the relationship.
Your hourly rate
This is the single most important number in Field. It's your rate for billable work — Field uses it to price time, calculate margins, and bill time-and-materials and overage. Set a default in Practice → Pricing; you can override it per client.
Two pricing models
Each client uses one of two models. You choose when you add them, and you can change it later.
Time & materials
Set your hourly rate and, optionally, a monthly budget in hours. Every billable minute is billed at the rate; the budget is a target you watch, not a cap and not something the client pays for up front. The simplest arrangement.
Flat + overage
Set a flat monthly fee plus the monthly budget it's meant to cover (in hours). The flat fee covers work up to the budget; time beyond it is billed at your hourly rate as overage. Good for clients who want a predictable number with room for busy months.
Changing prices
Changing a client's rate, budget, or model applies going forward. Statements you've already sent are captured as snapshots and don't change; the new numbers apply to the next statement. The current month's budget consumption is summed live from time worked, so it reflects the change immediately for planning — but past bills stay as issued.
Overage
Overage applies to flat-fee clients: when billable time passes the client's monthly budget, the excess is billed at your hourly rate — there's no separate overage rate to configure. The overage appears in Settlement for review before it's included in the statement. (Time-and-materials clients have no overage; all their time is billed at your rate.)
