A practical guide to writing billing

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.

Agree what this invoice covers

Define whether the fee is per article, project, word or hour. Include the agreed research and revision allowance. Extra interviews, additional formats or a changed brief should be approved before they become additional invoice lines.

Give the payer enough context

Include the project or publication name, deliverable title and billing milestone. Check the legal billing name and delivery contact against the accepted work. Keep the accepted brief, approved extra scope and submission or acceptance record available to resolve questions. An invoice records the charge; it does not replace the underlying approval or supporting documents.

Worked writing invoice example

The two articles are charged at the agreed package rate. The research hours are extra only because they were authorised outside the package. If billing by word count, use the agreed counting basis.

Avoid this billing mistake

Calling a draft a final deliverable can create confusion about when payment is due. Describe the submitted stage accurately and follow the billing milestone in the engagement agreement.

Follow up on the right record

Confirm whether approval sits with an editor, marketing contact or finance team. Reference the original invoice in reminders and provide the accepted deliverable record if the payer cannot match the work.

Before you send

  • Match the line items and quantities to the accepted scope and approved changes.
  • Check the invoice number, issue date, explicit due date and the project or publication name, deliverable title and billing milestone.
  • Apply only the tax treatment relevant to your business and location; check current local requirements if unsure.
  • Keep earlier billing separate from actual payments. Verify the outstanding amount and payment instructions.

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.
