Graphic designer invoice template

Updated October 2026

The painful version of a design invoice is a single line that says logo, with no hint of how many revisions were included or where the client may use the mark. This sample pulls those apart.

Round 1 included in the identity feeRound 2 billed at $150Further rounds not on this invoice
On this invoiceWhat it means in the sample

Example prices for an identity project. Not a market rate. The design fee and the usage license are separate on purpose. Paying for the artwork does not, by itself, describe where the client may use it. This sample license is one year on their site and their own social channels. Packaging, wholesale, or a buyout would be another line. One revision round sits inside the identity fee. The next round is the $150 line. Deposit of $900 was paid before sketching started. Balance is due in 15 days. Source files: say on the invoice whether they are included. This sample does not include a source-file buyout.

A few things clients ask to see in writing

  1. The project name and, if they have one, the PO. This sample uses PO FD-220.
  2. How many revision rounds the fee includes, and what the next round costs.
  3. Where the work may be used, and for how long.
  4. Whether working files are part of the handoff.
  5. The deposit already paid, as a credit, not as a memory.

Deposit first, balance in 15 days

Sketching started only after $900 landed. The rest of this sample is due 15 days after the final files. A client who pays on a purchase-order cycle needs that PO on the face of the bill or the invoice will sit in someone else's queue. For other ways to set the due date, see invoice payment terms.

Scope, revisions, and the license

  1. Why is the usage license not inside the design fee?

    Making the logo and being allowed to use it are different promises. This sample charges for the identity work, then states a one-year license for the client's site and their own social channels. Packaging or a full buyout would be another conversation and another line.

  2. How are revision rounds shown?

    Round one sits inside the identity fee. The next round is the $150 line, so a client who keeps changing direction can see the cost. Rounds after that are not on this invoice until you add them.

  3. What did the deposit cover?

    Nine hundred dollars was paid before sketching started, and it is credited at the bottom. The deposit is not a second copy of the design fee.

  4. Should source files be on this bill?

    Only if you are selling them. This sample does not include a source-file handoff. Say that in the notes so 'I paid for the logo' is not read as 'send the working files.'

  5. How do I bill a rush?

    Name the promise. Here, final files in five days are a $250 line, not a vague hurry fee with no date attached.
