Know what your Jira projects actually cost.
Jira tracks time. It never tells you money. Cost & Budget turns the hours your team already logs into live project cost, budget tracking and a forecast — so finance stops rebuilding it in spreadsheets.

What it does
Cost on every issue
Each worklog is costed as hours × that person's rate, right inside the Jira issue. No exports, no spreadsheets.
Budget vs actual, with a forecast
Set a project budget and see spent, remaining and % used — plus a burn-rate forecast that flags projects trending over before they overrun.
Historical hourly rates
Per-person and default rates with effective-from dates, so work done last quarter is costed at last quarter's rate. The way audits need it.
Recurring expenses
Fold in fixed monthly costs — licences, retainers, infrastructure — so the project total reflects real spend, not just labour.
Finance-ready CSV
A clean per-person and per-expense breakdown with totals, ready to drop into Excel or Google Sheets.
AI budget summary
A plain-English answer to “where are we over budget, and why?” — naming the actual cost drivers, powered by Atlassian-hosted AI.
Built for privacy
Cost figures are admin-only. Hourly rates reveal salaries, so cost data is restricted to Jira administrators and enforced on the server — other users see hours, never money.
Runs on Atlassian. The app is built on Atlassian Forge and runs entirely inside Atlassian's cloud. There are no external servers, nothing to host, and your data never leaves Atlassian — including the AI summary.
Who it's for
Agencies, consultancies, software teams and finance/PMO leads who bill by time or need to know true project cost and margin — without the price and complexity of heavyweight time-tracking suites.
