A worked graphic designer invoice with realistic line items Australian graphic design businesses charge every day. Use it as a reference or create your own compliant PDF instantly.
Use the example above as a reference, then enter your actual business, customer and job details here. Start without an account; downloads follow the free-tool limits. Saving, tracked sending and reminders require an account.
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.
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.
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.
50% deposit on commencement and 50% on completion is the industry standard. For retainer clients, monthly upfront billing on the 1st works well.
Use the template as a starting layout, then replace its example information with the actual agreed work. The details below help you decide what to enter and what to check before sending.
Name the design deliverable, included concepts and revision allowance. Separate the design fee from purchased assets, printing or production costs. A new concept after approval is different from a correction inside the agreed revision round; record the distinction before billing extra work.
Include the project name, approved deliverable, milestone and proposal reference. Check the legal billing name and delivery contact against the accepted work. Keep the accepted brief, revision approvals and delivery record available to resolve questions. An invoice records the charge; it does not replace the underlying approval or supporting documents.
The agreed milestone and authorised extra revisions are separately visible. Substitute the actual deliverable, such as a layout, illustration or room scheme. Do not describe a draft as a completed final delivery.
| Description | Quantity | Rate | Amount |
|---|---|---|---|
| Approved design milestone | 1 | 650.00 | 650.00 |
| Additional revision hours — approved | 2 | 70.00 | 140.00 |
| Example subtotal | 790.00 | ||
Leaving asset licences or production purchases unnamed can make them look like additional design fees. Explain what was purchased and whether it was included in the original scope.
Confirm the approver has accepted the billed stage and the finance contact has the correct reference. Keep ownership and usage terms in the engagement agreement; an invoice description should not silently change them.
The free browser tool prepares the document. Saving customers, sending tracked invoices and managing reminders require an account and are subject to plan limits. Payment status needs accurate payment records; an invoice view alone does not confirm payment.
