Logo Design Invoice Template FAQ

What is a logo invoice template used for?

You'll use your free invoice template to get paid for your design work. 

Your clients can clearly see the services you provide, when they should pay for them, and any late fees if applicable. Professional invoices make 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 own invoices and invite your customers to choose the payment method that's best for them. If you get paid online, you are more likely to get paid faster, so try to prefer these methods if you can.

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

  • Software purchases or subscriptions
  • Image licensing
  • Extra editing
  • Hourly rates

Whatever services you are billing your clients for, using a single form of billing will make life simpler. Connecting all 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 logo design 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.
  • Milestone billing is useful for larger projects that will take place over several weeks or months. Set some milestones, such as the delivery of first proofs, and send an invoice when those milestones happen. 
  • Billing by the project is very common for designers. Once the client accepts the contract, send them the bill according to the payment schedule.
  • 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 logo design work?

A simple logo design costs between $50-$100. More complex designs featuring multiple color and layout options can cost between $300-$700. The most advanced logos can be several times more and include market research, trademark filing, and more.

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. Charges for a custom logo on the West Coast might not be successful in Texas. Try a few different price points until you find the rate clients accept for logo designers and you can live on.

How to create a Logo Design invoice? 

This part is easy! Here's a step-by-step guide to create professional looking invoices quickly:

  1. Open one of Indy's Logo Design Invoice Templates.
  2. Add your business name, own logo, branding and contact info.
  3. Insert your client's company name, contact information, and due date.
  4. Add an invoice number that fits your organization system.
  5. Fill in the lines with your graphic design services completed and the cost per task/hour.
  6. Check the invoice total and payment details.

Once you've finished these six steps, it will only take just a few clicks to send custom invoices to your client. Send it straight from Indy or download it as a PDF and use your own email client to send it. When you start creating invoices with Indy, you will save time, get paid faster, and enhance your brand image with the use of your business logo in a professional way.

Why Choose Indy?

When you set up your customers and projects with Indy, your entire workflow becomes smoother.
