Invoicing for your freelancer business

In the preview, a row is a description, a quantity and a dollar rate, and the total keeps up as you type. A fixed project fee is 1 at the agreed price. Hourly work is the number of hours at your rate. Extra work the client approved, such as an added round of changes, is a row of its own, and so is a cost you paid for the client, entered at what you paid.

The preview has a single tax rate for the subtotal. Check your state's rules or ask an accountant before you add tax.

Worked example (sample figures): the rows start as a project fee of 1 × $1,200.00, extra revision time of 3 hours × $60.00 = $180.00 and a stock photo license at 1 × $45.00. Without tax, they add up to $1,200.00 + $180.00 + $45.00 = $1,425.00. The freelancer invoicing guide covers deposits, terms and following up.

Why Billed fits freelancer billing

  • For hourly work, Billed's time tracking page says: "Create an hourly rate project, set its hourly rate, and Billed tracks the charge for each task as you log it."
  • For fixed-fee work, Billed's features page says: "Manage your flat rate projects and create Invoice at any stage of the project."
  • To see what's still owed, Billed's invoice software page says: "Invoice reports show which invoices are paid, partially paid or past due, and you can see who owes you money and send them a payment reminder."

How the freelancer invoice generator works

Three steps from blank page to a polished invoice your clients can pay with confidence.

  1. 1

    Enter the fee and hours

    Write the project fee as one row and any hourly work as hours at your rate.

  2. 2

    Add extras and costs

    Put approved extras and client costs you covered on separate rows, and leave Tax at 0 unless it applies.

  3. 3

    Head to Billed's generator

    Select Open full generator to reach Billed's generator on my.billed.app. Nothing from the preview goes with you, so type the rows in again there.
