Pro tips for designers

Payment terms

Bill 50% upfront and 50% on final-file delivery — and never release source files until the final invoice clears.

Tax

Some states tax the transfer of finished design files as tangible goods even when the work is digital — check your state before zero-rating.

Designer invoice FAQ

How many revisions should a designer include?

State a fixed number (commonly two or three rounds) on the invoice and price additional rounds as a separate line item so scope creep is billable, not free.

Should I charge a separate licensing fee?

If the client needs broad usage rights — broadcast, packaging, or resale — bill licensing as its own line and state the granted rights in the terms.

When do I hand over source files?

List source-file handoff as a line item and release it only after the final invoice is paid. This protects you if a client tries to walk away mid-project.

What should a designer put in invoice terms?

The number of revision rounds included, the licensing scope granted, and a note that source files transfer on final payment.
