Use stage calculated properties

Last updated: February 11, 2026

Available with any of the following subscriptions, except where noted:

Stage calculated properties for contacts, companies, deals, tickets, services, projects, and leads show the amount of time these records spend in each stage of a pipeline. Use these properties in HubSpot tools such as reports or workflows to track the progress of your records through the pipeline and assess performance.

Subscription required A Service Hub Professional or Enterprise subscription is required to use service and lead stage calculated properties.

Understand stage calculated properties

The following default properties provide information about how your contacts, companies, deals, tickets, services, projects, and leads are moving through pipeline stages. The properties automatically update based on a record's current and historical stage values. If a deal or ticket is closed then reopened, the values will continue to update. Each stage in your pipelines has its own set of these properties. The values for the properties will be populated retroactively based on existing data.

  • Date entered [stage ID]: the date and time the record entered the stage.
  • Date exited [stage ID]: the date and time the record exited the stage.
  • Latest time in [stage ID]: the total time spent by the record in the stage since it last entered the stage. This is calculated based on the Date entered and Date exited properties. This includes records that were closed then reopened. When a record is currently in a stage, it will have no value for this property, unless it had previously been in that stage. In that case, its value will refer to the previous time in the stage and will not update until the record leaves the stage.
  • Cumulative time in [stage ID]: the cumulative time spent by the record in the stage. This includes records that were closed then reopened. This is helpful if a record re-enters a stage multiple times and you want to track its total time in the stage. When a record is currently in a stage, it will have no value for this property, unless it had previously been in that stage. In that case, its value will include the previous time in the stage and will not update until the record leaves the stage.
  • Date entered current stage: the date the record entered its current pipeline stage.
  • Time in current stage: the time the record has spent in the current pipeline stage.

Use stage calculated properties in HubSpot tools

You can use contact, company, deal, ticket, service, project, or lead stage calculated properties to segment and automate actions in views, segments, workflows, and reports.

Please note: records won't be enrolled in workflows based on the Cumulative time and Latest time in [stage] properties if the record is currently in that stage (e.g., Latest time in Contract Sent if that deal is currently in the Contract Sent stage). To enroll these records, your trigger criteria should use the Date entered current stage or Time in current stage properties.

For example, you can:

  • Create a saved view to identify deals that have spent more than two weeks in a given stage.
  • Create a filter using the Advanced filters in the sales workspace to identify leads that have spent more than two weeks in a given stage.

  • Create a report that shows the total amount of time spent in all stages using the Cumulative time in [stage] properties.
  • Create a workflow that triggers a task for a deal owner to follow up when the deal's Date entered Contract Sent is more than 7 days ago. You can use similar triggers in a lead-based workflow.
