Invoicing for your marketing agency business

Each row of the preview is a line on the invoice: what it is, how many, and a price in dollars, with the sum shown underneath. Put the retainer on its own row with the month in the description, extra hours on another row, counted in hours, and each purchase made for the client, such as a stock image license, on a row of its own at what you paid.

The Tax % box puts one percentage on the whole subtotal. Ask your state's tax agency whether marketing services or passed-on costs are taxed before entering a rate. Retainers, staged project fees, purchase orders and timesheets are covered in the marketing agency invoicing guide linked below.

Worked example with the opening sample rows: a monthly retainer at 1 × $2,400.00, six extra design hours at 6 × $95.00 = $570.00, and two stock image licenses at 2 × $29.00 = $58.00. The sum is $2,400.00 + $570.00 + $58.00 = $3,028.00, the total with the tax box empty. Swap in your own retainer, rates and costs.

Why Billed fits marketing agency billing

  • For a retainer billed on the same day each month, Billed's recurring invoices page says: "Negotiating fixed prices and sending recurring invoices makes it easier for you to forecast your income and upcoming workload."
  • For hours on top of the retainer, Billed's time tracking page says: "Log time for each task as you work, and see how much time goes into each project."
  • For a cost bought for a client, Billed's help center says: "If there are any unbilled expenses of a particular client, you can add these expenses to the client's next invoice."
  • 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 marketing agency invoice generator works

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

  1. 1

    Start with the retainer

    Replace the first sample row with the retainer and the month it covers, at a quantity of 1.

  2. 2

    Add hours and costs

    Extra hours go on one row, counted in hours; each passed-on cost gets a row at the price you paid.

  3. 3

    Open Billed's generator

    Check the sum. The Open full generator button is only a shortcut to Billed's invoice generator in another browser tab, and these preview rows remain here.
