I need to add hourly rate to projects how do i do that? I know how to add hours but where do I put the hourly rate in?

Good day, @calvertelectrica.

I'd be glad to share with you the steps on how to add hourly rates to projects in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

Here's how:

1. Go to the Projects menu and click the name of the project.
2. Under the HOURLY TIME COST, click HOURS.
3. In the Cost rate (/hr) section, enter the rate. Make sure to uncheck the Billable (/hr) box so the system will follow the cost rate. 
4. Click Save.

To track your payroll expenses, you can generate a Project Profitability report from the Project Reports tab. This report provides a detailed view of your project accounts and transactions, allowing you to gain valuable insights into your project's financial performance. See this article for your reference: Understanding project profitability.
