Invoicing for your videographer business

Put production and post-production on separate rows. A shoot day is one row, with 1 in Qty and your day rate in Rate, named for the project and the date. Editing goes on its own row as hours at your editing rate, and an add-on such as drone footage or a rented lens is a further row.

Look up your state's rules for video production services before entering a tax percentage.

Worked example, with sample figures: a brand video is one shoot day at $1,400.00, 1 × $1,400.00 = $1,400.00; editing takes 10 hours at $75.00, 10 × $75.00 = $750.00; and drone footage is 1 × $200.00 = $200.00. In all, $1,400.00 + $750.00 + $200.00 = $2,350.00, which is where the preview's total starts.

For date-holding fees, rented gear, extra revisions and how the client may use the footage, see how to invoice as a videographer.

Why Billed fits videographer billing

  • Storyboards can be shared up front, and Billed's estimating page says "Attach important files and images with your estimates."
  • For a quote the client has approved, you can "convert an approved estimate into an invoice", according to Billed's invoice software page.
  • Editing time you recorded can be billed: Billed's invoice software page mentions that you can "bill for time you have tracked."
