Invoicing for your musician business

A row in the preview holds a description, how many, and a price for each. A gig can sit on one row, with 1 as the count and the agreed fee as the price; name the event and the date in the description so the client recognizes it. Studio sessions and lessons work the other way round: the count is hours or lessons, and the price is for one of them. Sound equipment, extra players and travel go on further rows.

One tax percentage covers every row. Find out how your state handles performance fees and equipment before you type one in.

Sample booking, worked through: the ceremony and reception set is one fee of $1,200.00, the sound system with setup adds $240.00, and travel adds $75.00. Together that comes to $1,200.00 + $240.00 + $75.00 = $1,515.00, which is the total the preview shows before you change anything.

  • Charge for studio hours you've logged: Billed's invoice software page says you can "bill for time you have tracked."
  • Give clients a card option: Billed's invoice software page says "Connect your Stripe account and every invoice you send gets a pay button, so clients can pay by card."

When this isn't for you

If a venue pays you through its payroll, or an agency invoices the client on your behalf, you may not need to send an invoice yourself; check your agreement first.
