Example
Jan Bill $500 = 5 hrs, they use 0 bank = 5
Feb bill $500 = 5 hrs, they us 6 bank = 4
March bill $500 = 5 hrs, they use 2, bank = 8
Then nice thing is we auto bill every month.
They build up their bank
Right now Gorelo has two contract billing modes, and neither one does both things you need in a single automated setup:
- Block Hours — a one-time upfront purchase of hours (e.g., "client buys 50 hours"). You invoice it once, and it draws down until it's gone. It doesn't auto-renew or re-bill monthly.
- Limited Hours — bills a recurring monthly cap automatically (e.g., "$500 = 5 hrs/month"), with overage billed per-hour. But the cap resets each month — unused hours don't carry over to build a bank.
Your use case needs recurring auto-billing plus a cumulative rollover balance across months — that combination isn't supported as a single contract mode today.
Workaround options in the meantime:
1. Use Limited Hours for the auto-billing convenience, but understand unused hours are lost each month (no banking).
2. Use Block Hours and manually top up the bucket each month with a new invoice — this preserves the bank/rollover behavior but loses the "auto-bill" convenience since each top-up has to be added manually.
We don't have a way to get true auto-bill + accumulating bank in one setup right now. Please submit as a feature request on our roadmap.
