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.
State the language pair, deliverable and billing unit. If pricing by word count, agree whether the source or target text controls the count. Separate authorised proofreading, formatting, certification or urgent turnaround charges where applicable.
Include the document or project reference, language pair and delivery date. Check the legal billing name and delivery contact against the accepted work. Keep the accepted quote, agreed count and delivery record available to resolve questions. An invoice records the charge; it does not replace the underlying approval or supporting documents.
The unit rate is applied to the agreed source-word count. For a fixed-price assignment, use the agreed fee instead. Do not add formatting separately if the original fee already includes it.
| Description | Quantity | Rate | Amount |
|---|---|---|---|
| Translation — agreed source-word count | 2000 | 0.12 | 240.00 |
| Approved additional formatting | 1 | 40.00 | 40.00 |
| Example subtotal | 280.00 | ||
Switching from source to target word count after delivery changes the pricing basis. Confirm the agreed unit and count before issuing the invoice.
Use a reference rather than reproducing confidential document text on the invoice. Keep certification and quality-review documentation separate from the payment record.
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.
