Why this structure works

  • Project phases remain visible instead of collapsing into one unexplained fee.
  • Fixed project and delivery units keep value separate from time tracking.
  • A client reference and Net 14 terms make approval and payment easier to route.
  • The optional payment-link QR appears in the preview and supported visual exports only when enabled.

Finished example content

  • Strategy: brand strategy and creative direction
  • Design: visual identity design system
  • Handoff: guidelines and production assets
  • Payment: client reference, Net 14, and scan-to-pay link
Choose by billing model

Match the line-item structure to the way the work was agreed.

HourlyUse hours as the quantity, an hourly unit label, and a description tied to the completed activity or period.
Fixed projectUse quantity 1 for a clearly described deliverable, phase, or package rather than an unexplained general fee.
RetainerName the covered period and agreed service scope; add out-of-scope work as separate lines when applicable.
Milestone or depositIdentify the relevant milestone or agreed deposit and keep the project agreement as the source of scope and payment conditions.
Choose by work type

Start closer to the service you actually provide.

These existing templates use different fictional scopes and billing structures. Open one only when its shape is useful, then replace and verify every example field.

Fields to replace before sending

Business and clientNames, addresses, contact details, identifiers, and optional logo.
ProjectInvoice number, client reference, phase descriptions, quantities, prices, dates, and tax treatment.
Payment and handoffTerms, payment destination, QR content, release conditions, and delivery notes.
Final reviewTotals, scope alignment, required legal wording, and the exported result.
Receipt starting point

Record the project only after payment is confirmed.

The fictional receipt carries the supplied creative work and original invoice reference into a settled-payment document. It hides due terms, labels the total as paid, and uses a contact QR rather than presenting another payment request.

Common freelancer questions

Can I invoice fixed-price work and hourly additions together?

Yes. Each line can have its own quantity, unit, price, and tax rate, so project milestones and extra hours can appear together.

Can I add my own logo and payment QR?

Yes. Upload your logo, select an accent colour, and choose a supported payment-link, EPC/SEPA, or contact-card QR mode.

Does this replace a project agreement?

No. The invoice records billing information. Scope, rights, acceptance, cancellation, and other contractual terms should be handled appropriately for your engagement.
