This is called 'Revenue' and 'Total revenue'. The calculation of
revenue is based on hourly fee and time spent though, not on budget,
so you'll have to register effort.

PS: The taskcoach-users mailinglist is more suitable for these kinds
of questions. This is the developers mailinglist.

Can you make a little task file that shows the problem?

Thanks, Frank

Right, the 'for this task including sub tasks' columns displays the
value of the different attributes (time spent, budget left, etc.) as:
"value for this task + sum(values of all sub tasks, recursively)". So,
for in the case of time spent the right-most column shows the total
time spent on this task and all of its sub tasks. However, summing
doesn't make sense for hourly fee, so that's the reason there is no
value in the right-most column of hourly fee.

I'm all ears for suggestions on how to make this more intuitive...

Cheers, Frank
