Project fee, hourly or value — what the line says
| Model | Line item looks like | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Flat project fee | "Logo design — 3 concepts, 2 revision rounds — $1,800" | Defined deliverables; most logo and brand work |
| Package | "Brand identity: logo, palette, type, guidelines — $4,500" | Bundled scope, one price the client already said yes to |
| Hourly production | "Collateral adaptation, June — 9.5 hrs × $95" | Open-ended or ongoing production work |
| Usage / licensing | "Extended license — national print campaign — $900" | When rights beyond the original scope are sold |
Write the line so it quotes the proposal. When the invoice repeats the words the client approved — "3 concepts, 2 revision rounds" — there is nothing left to question. The proposal-to-invoice bridge is the same logic as an estimate vs an invoice.

Revisions, rush fees and kill fees
- Extra revision rounds get their own line. "Revision round 3 (beyond 2 included) — $250" reads as fairness, not a penalty: the included rounds were named on the original line.
- Rush work is a visible percentage. "Rush delivery — 48h turnaround (+25%) — $450" — agreed before you start, never a surprise at the end.
- Kill fee when a project dies. If the contract sets one (commonly 25–50% of the remaining fee), invoice it promptly with the contract clause referenced in the description — and stop work cleanly.
- Scope creep becomes a change line, not a favor. "Added deliverable: social templates ×6 — $480" on the next invoice keeps goodwill and the budget honest at once.

Notes: Final files and full usage rights transfer on receipt of balance
That last note is the designer's quiet leverage: files ship when the invoice settles. If a client goes quiet instead, the overdue invoice playbook picks it up from here.
Design invoicing FAQ
Do I take a deposit before starting design work?
Almost always — 30–50% before the first concept is standard. It filters unserious clients and funds the exploration phase. Show it deducted on the final invoice so the balance is obvious.
How do I invoice when the client owns the files?
Ownership transfers in the contract; the invoice references it. A notes line like "Full rights transfer on receipt of balance" ties payment to handover without turning the invoice into a legal document.
Can I charge for concepts a client didn't pick?
The flat fee covers the exploration — that's why "3 concepts" is written on the line. What you don't bill separately: the two logos they rejected. What you do bill: a whole new direction requested after approval.
What payment terms work for design projects?
Short ones. Net 14 fits project work better than Net 30 — the deliverable is fresh and the client is engaged. The payment terms guide covers the trade-offs.
A client is late and it's hurting cash flow — now what?
A polite reminder at day 3, a firmer one with the invoice attached at day 14, and if the contract allows it, a late fee named in advance. Consistency beats confrontation.
