Sample hourly invoice: what the lines look like
- Research and planning (hours)4.5 × $65.00 = $292.50
- Build and testing (hours)12 × $65.00 = $780.00
- Client meetings (hours)2 × $65.00 = $130.00

Practical tips
- Round to the same unit every time (quarter hours is common) and say so in your agreement.
- Group hours by task, not by day, so the client sees what they bought.
- Send hourly invoices on a fixed day each week or month so the total never comes as a shock.
Frequently asked questions
How do I invoice for hours worked?
List each task as a line with the hours as the quantity and your hourly rate as the price. The template multiplies them and adds the lines up.
Should I show different rates on one invoice?
Yes, if you agreed them: use a separate line for each rate, for example standard hours and overtime.
Can I reuse this hourly invoice for my next job?
Yes. Change the client, the line items and the invoice number and download again. With a free account you can save clients and invoices so you don't retype them.
