What do you need to include on a freelance invoice?
Freelancers often need to bill for services provided with hourly rates and provide evidence of hours worked through work logs. An invoice for a self-employed worker should include the following details:
- Your contact and business details
- The customer’s contact and business details
- A unique identifying invoice number
- Date of invoice issue
- Payment due date
- An itemized list of freelance services provided with their associated costs. Ensure you provide a log of your freelance hours worked if you bill hourly. You should also include any costs of products or materials used during your freelance work.
- Total payment amount owed by the client including taxes for the freelance project
- Payment instructions including payment instructions (cash, credit card, bank transfer and more), your bank account details if it’s relevant and payment structure. Do you want the payment in stages including a deposit amount, or in a once-off final payment?
- Terms and conditions
- Any other important attachments including work logs.
