# Project Budget Settings - Hours Only View

Project Budget Settings - Hours Only View

Hours only view can be turned on on [Organization settings > Budgets tab](https://support.mosaicapp.com/en/articles/461-default-budget-tracking.md). This will affect how budget is tracked on the Project and Phase level.

On the hours-only setting, Currency and Rates related settings are hidden:

-   Project Currency — Currency Off
    
-   [Budget Tracking Level](https://support.mosaicapp.com/en/articles/413-budget-tracking-level.md)
    
-   [Default Subphase Settings](https://support.mosaicapp.com/en/articles/414-default-subphase-settings.md)
    

Set Organization Default Button takes you to [Organization Settings > Budget > Settings page](https://support.mosaicapp.com/en/articles/163-organization-settings-budget.md)

## Sub Phase Budget Roll-Up

Teams on the hours-only setting can choose to have sub phase budgets roll up automatically to the parent phase.

When roll-up is enabled:

-   Enter budgeted hours at the **sub phase** level only
    
-   The **parent phase** budget displays the combined total of all its sub phases
    
-   The parent phase total updates automatically as sub phase budgets change
    

**How to enable it:**

1.  Open the **Budget** for the project and stay on the **Time** tab.
    
2.  Click the **cogwheel icon** at the top of the tab.
    
3.  Turn on **toggle.**
    
4.  Close the settings panel. Parent phase rows now show rolled-up totals.

**Important Notes**

-   Roll-up affects how the parent phase budget is _calculated_, not how sub phases are structured. Adding or removing a sub phase changes the parent total.
