How to invoice fixed-price or package projects?
As a freelancer or self-employed professional, you may choose to work with a fixed price per project or offer your service as a package. Think of a logo design for €500 or a content package for €850. This works well for both you and the client: no surprises afterward. But how do you invoice this neatly?
1. Clearly state what is included
A fixed price only works if both parties know what is included. Describe in your quote and invoice:
- What you will deliver
- Delivery deadline
- How many revision rounds are included
2. Use clear invoice lines
Don’t invoice "Project €1000", but rather:
- Web design for [company name] – includes design, 2 revision rounds, and delivery: €1000
This keeps things clear for both you and your client.
3. Work with partial payments or milestones
For larger projects, it's smart to invoice in phases. For example:
- 50% at start
- 25% after concept approval
- 25% upon delivery
This spreads the risk and keeps your cash flow healthy.
