Sometimes, you&#8217;ll work on fast ad-hoc tasks; other times, you&#8217;ll work on full-day assignments. So, you need a way to <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/toggl.com\/blog\/how-to-calculate-billable-hours\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">calculate billable hours<\/a> consistently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To help, it&#8217;s common practice for lawyers to break their hours into six-minute increments, also known as <strong>tenths<\/strong>. Put simply, this breaks every hour into 10 x six-minute increments that can be multiplied against your hourly rate to work out an accurate <a href=\"https:\/\/toggl.com\/blog\/how-do-lawyers-track-billable-hours\">billable amount for your legal work<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s how those tenths break down into six-minute increments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>1-6 minutes<\/td><td>10%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>7-12 minutes<\/td><td>20%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>13-18 minutes<\/td><td>30%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>19-24 minutes<\/td><td>40%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>25-30 minutes<\/td><td>50%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>31-36 minutes<\/td><td>60%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>37-42 minutes<\/td><td>70%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>43-48 minutes<\/td><td>80%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>49-52 minutes<\/td><td>90%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>55-60 minutes<\/td><td>100%<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n        <div class=\"mb-8 top-tip\">\n            \n                            <span class=\"flex items-center text-dark-purple-100 opacity-60 uppercase mb-2 text-sm font-bold\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"!w-6 !h-6 !object-contain mr-2\" src=\"https:\/\/toggl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/toggl-mjtweaver\/img\/brain.png\" alt=\"Top tips to enlarge those brains\" aria-label=\"Top tips to enlarge those brains\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" loading=\"lazy\">    \n                    <span>Top tip:<\/span>\n                <\/span>\n            \n            <div class=\"bg-yellow-30 border-t-[3px] border-yellow-100 px-6 pt-6 pb-2\"><p>Private law firms and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cand.uscourts.gov\/about\/court-programs\/criminal-justice-act-cja\/cja-compensation-rates\/billing-increment-chart-minutes-to-tenths-of-an-hour\/\" target=\"_blank\">government departments<\/a> widely use tenths, as they balance efficiency and accuracy well.<\/p>\n<p>Anything less than six-minute increments turns time tracking and invoicing into an admin nightmare.

So:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Hourly Rate x Increment = Amount of Invoice<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, let&#8217;s say you&#8217;ve worked 34 minutes on a tenths-based increment scheme; that&#8217;s 60% of an hour. If your hourly rate is $300, that&#8217;s $300 x 60% = $180. So, you&#8217;d be invoicing $180.<\/p>\n\n\n        <div class=\"mb-8 top-tip\">\n            \n                            <span class=\"flex items-center text-dark-purple-100 opacity-60 uppercase mb-2 text-sm font-bold\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"!w-6 !h-6 !object-contain mr-2\" src=\"https:\/\/toggl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/toggl-mjtweaver\/img\/brain.png\" alt=\"Top tips to enlarge those brains\" aria-label=\"Top tips to enlarge those brains\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" loading=\"lazy\">    \n                    <span>Top tip:<\/span>\n                <\/span>\n            \n            <div class=\"bg-yellow-30 border-t-[3px] border-yellow-100 px-6 pt-6 pb-2\"><p>Remember, while tenths are the most common increment, it&#8217;s not the only option. Some companies use quarters (breaking an hour into 15-minute sections, as seen in our example below) or even break a day&#8217;s work into hourly increments.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    \n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th>Minutes Worked<\/th><th>Billable Hours<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>1-15 minutes<\/td><td>0.25<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>16-30 minutes<\/td><td>0.5<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>31-45 minutes<\/td><td>0.75<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>46-60 minutes<\/td><td>1.0<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best practices for using an attorney billable hours chart<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While billable hours charts might seem simple, they can easily become clunky, time-consuming workflows. Follow these best practices to keep them relevant and useful:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>\ud83d\udcc4 Pitch your billing fairly.<\/strong> When <a href=\"https:\/\/toggl.com\/blog\/best-billable-hours-tracker\">tracking billable hours<\/a>, find the balance between detail and efficiency. Logging and billing <em>every <\/em>email you send is probably overkill. But clients might get suspicious if you charge for hours of emails at a time. Align your increments to your work schedules to reach a level of detail that&#8217;s right for your clients.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>\ud83d\ude45 Don&#8217;t pad your hours.<\/strong> For those working on larger increments, such as sixths or quarters, there can be a tendency to pad hours, claiming you&#8217;ve done more work than you actually have to hit the increment. If your team is padding, it&#8217;s best practice to lower your increments to offer better value and boost productivity.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>\ud83c\udfaf Don\u2019t focus on billable hours targets. <\/strong>All businesses need to make money, but focusing too strongly on targets leads to poor client outcomes. Instead, rely on capturing the right number of billable hours each day as accurately and fairly as possible. Doing this builds trust with your clients, helping you generate repeat work to hit your targets.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>\u23f1\ufe0f Invest in accurate, real-time time tracking.<\/strong> Using your watch and an Excel tracker isn\u2019t going to cut it. Accurate, real-time tracking software automatically monitors each of your tasks, ensuring no billable work falls through the cracks. It also removes the need for manual time entries, helping you stay focused on your clients rather than the admin.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A quick word about billable vs. non-billable hours<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Not all legal services are invoiced the same way. To bill clients accurately, you must know the difference between billable and non-billable tasks. Let\u2019s look at some common examples of tasks that fall into each category.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Billable hour tasks.<\/strong> Client matters, including legal research, document drafting, court appearances, negotiations, planning workshops, and mediation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Non-billable hour tasks.<\/strong> Internal matters, including practice meetings, personal development, client development, and office management.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n        <div class=\"mb-8 top-tip\">\n            \n                            <span class=\"flex items-center text-dark-purple-100 opacity-60 uppercase mb-2 text-sm font-bold\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"!w-6 !h-6 !object-contain mr-2\" src=\"https:\/\/toggl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/toggl-mjtweaver\/img\/brain.png\" alt=\"Top tips to enlarge those brains\" aria-label=\"Top tips to enlarge those brains\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" loading=\"lazy\">    \n                    <span>Top tip:<\/span>\n                <\/span>\n            \n            <div class=\"bg-yellow-30 border-t-[3px] border-yellow-100 px-6 pt-6 pb-2\"><p>While it might seem simple, understanding the difference is important for invoicing clients and determines your efficiency, work habits, and daily routine. Tracking both billable and non-billable activities shines a light on how you allocate your time. It also reveals where you could automate tasks or eliminate waste to boost profitability in the future.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    \n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can time tracking software increase profitability?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Talking of profitability, the best way to turbocharge your end-to-end billing process is to invest in time-tracking software, such as Toggl Track.
