Hourly Invoice Template for Freelance Designers
A well-built design invoice breaks the work down by type, not just total hours — a client understands "8h of UI design + 2h of revisions" much better than "10h of work."
What it should include
- Client and project details — client name, project or campaign name.
- Breakdown by task type — concept design, revisions, final deliverables (source files, exports). Don't lump everything into one line.
- Hourly rate, and if it applies, a different rate for revisions vs. new work.
- Number of revision rounds included — if you charge differently past the 3rd round, make that explicit on the invoice, not just in the contract.
- Delivery format — which files ship with this invoice (Figma, PSD, final exports).
Example
| Description | Hours | Rate | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Concept design — landing page | 6.0h | $45/h | $270.00 |
| Design revision (round 1) | 1.5h | $45/h | $67.50 |
| Final asset export | 1.0h | $45/h | $45.00 |
| Total | 8.5h | $382.50 |
Generating it automatically
Logging each task with its category (concept, revision, delivery) as you work saves you from reconstructing this at month-end. ProHours builds this invoice directly from your categorized time entries.
