Florist Invoice Template FAQ

What Is a Florist Invoice Used For?

You’ll use your invoice to get paid for your floristry work. 

Your clients can clearly see the services you provide, when they should pay for them, and any late fees, if applicable. A well-designed invoice makes it easier to avoid questions about how much money is owed or due by which date.

Accepting multiple forms of payment is easier now than ever before. Select which payment methods you accept on your invoice and invite your customers to choose the payment method that’s best for them. 

You can use your florist invoice to bill clients for many services, such as:

·    Hourly rates

·    Arrangement materials

·    Delivery charges

·    Subcontractors

Whatever services you are billing your clients for, using a single form of billing will make life simpler. Connecting your invoices to a payment system and bank account will help you keep track of paid and unpaid bills easily.

How do you bill for floristry work?

You can bill your clients by sending them an invoice. There are a few things to get right with your billing. Here’s a short list:

  • You can bill by the hour, milestone, or project. 
  • Hourly billing is really common, and you can use Indy’s Time Tracker to track your hours easily. You can even add your time tracks to your invoices as line items.
  • Billing by project or event is very common for florists. You talk with your client, make a plan for the event, and create a contract that reflects those amounts.
  • Many freelancers take a deposit at the beginning of the project. This protects you from shady clients and sets you up for cash flow success. Deposits up to 50% are normal.
  • You should set out your billing and payment terms in your contract. If you don’t have a contract, use Indy’s Contracts tool to create one before you start work.
  • Once you finish the work or pass the milestone, send the client an invoice. If you don’t have an invoice, you can use Indy’s invoice generator to create a professional invoice in just a few moments.

That’s it! Those are the basics of how to bill someone for your work. 

How much to charge for your floristry work?

The average floral designer salary in the US is $52,547 but ranges from $42K up to $63K. When setting your rates, you will need to include charges to cover taxes, material costs, travel, and admin costs.

Knowing how much to charge for your work is a complicated area. We want to help freelancers, so we’re going to give you some general tips here about settling on the best amount to charge clients for your services.

Let’s think about this from a few different perspectives:

First, how much do you want/need to earn? You should create your rates to reflect what you need to earn. Keep in mind that you won’t get paid for some of the things you must do, such as preparing your taxes, looking for more customers, and weekly admin work. So, your hourly or project rate needs to be a little higher to make up for the unpaid work that is part of every freelancer’s life.

Second, how much do others charge for similar services at your level of expertise and experience? This question can be a little difficult to answer, but you can just ask. Join a Facebook group and ask. Call a local competitor and ask. Once you know what they charge, you can go under that if you’re new to the market or over it if you’re the boss.

Another massive item you should plan for is taxes. You’ll be paying your own taxes as a freelancer, so your rates should incorporate the taxes you’ll eventually have to pay. The average tax amount paid by Americans, for all taxes, is about 29%. This means you’ll end up paying $3 in taxes out of every $10 you earn. Price your work to pay your taxes and be left with the income you want.

Your best rates will be different because everyone’s market is different. What works on the West Coast might not be successful in Texas. Try a few different price points until you find the rate clients accept and you can live on.

How to create a florist invoice? 

This part is easy! Here’s a step-by-step guide to getting your invoice done:

  1. Open one of Indy’s Florist Invoice Templates.
  2. Add your business branding and information.
  3. Insert your client’s contact information.
  4. Number your invoice in a useful way.
  5. Fill in the lines with your work completed and the cost per task/hour.
  6. Check the invoice total and details.
