How to write a freelancer invoice
- Describe each deliverable so the client's accounts team can match it to the project without asking.
- Bill extra work separately and say who agreed it, so scope changes do not turn into disputes.
- Invoice as soon as a milestone is delivered rather than at the end of the month.
- Agree your payment terms and late fee in your contract or quote before you start.

Freelance Invoice Template: frequently asked questions
What should a freelance invoice include?
Your name and contact details, the client's details, a unique invoice number, the date, a description of the work with hours or a fixed price, any tax, the total, the due date and how to pay you.
Should freelancers charge by the hour or by the project?
Both work. Hourly suits open-ended work; a fixed project price suits clear deliverables and rewards working efficiently. Use the freelance rate calculator to find your minimum rate either way.
Is this invoice template free?
Yes. Edit the template in your browser and download it as a PDF for free, with no sign-up and no watermark. Nothing you type is uploaded.
