  • 2.Release final files only after full payment is received
  • 3.For retainer clients, invoice on the 1st of the month for the following month's work
  • 4.Itemise stock photo or font licences separately if you sourced them for the client
  • 5.For ongoing brand work, consider a monthly retainer rather than per-project invoices

Frequently asked questions

Should graphic designers charge GST?

Only if your annual turnover exceeds $75,000. Below that, GST registration is optional. The template handles both cases — just remove the GST line if not registered.

How do I bill for design revisions?

Quote a number of revisions included (typically 2-3 rounds) and an hourly rate for additional revisions. List included revisions in the scope and bill extras as separate line items.

When should I release final files to clients?

After full payment is received. Many designers send a watermarked PDF preview before final payment, then release working files (AI, PSD, source) only after the invoice is paid.

What payment terms work for design work?

50% deposit on commencement and 50% on completion is the industry standard. For retainer clients, monthly upfront billing on the 1st works well.
