Invoice templates / graphic designers
Free invoice template for graphic designers
Design work is billed per project, per hour or per deliverable, and the licence matters as much as the artwork. A clear invoice states what was made, how many rounds were included, and what the client may do with it.

Payment terms
Half up front and half on delivery is common for fixed-price projects. Make sure the delivery of final files is tied to payment in your agreement, not only on the invoice.
Type Net 30 (or Net 7, Net 15) in the Payment terms box and the due date fills in. Payment terms explained.
Questions
- Should I invoice before sending final files?
- Many designers send the final invoice together with a preview and release the final files once it is paid. Whatever you do, say so in your agreement.
- How do I charge for extra revisions?
- Add a line for the extra rounds with an hourly or per-round rate, so it is clear they were outside the original price.
