Tips for graphic designers
- ·Show included revision rounds at $0 and bill extra rounds separately. It makes your scope visible and justifies the extra charge.
- ·Handing over source/editable files is often a separate deliverable; if you charge for it, give it its own line.
- ·Many designers contract through agencies. If schedular/withholding tax is deducted, note the agreed rate so your records reconcile.
Graphic Designer invoicing, answered.
Should I invoice design work as a project fee or hourly?
Both are common in NZ. Project fees suit defined deliverables (a logo, a brochure); hourly suits open-ended work. Whichever you use, list revision rounds and file handover separately so the scope is clear on the invoice.
How do I handle extra revisions on the invoice?
Show the included rounds (often at $0 to make the scope visible), then bill additional rounds as their own line. It turns an awkward 'that's extra' conversation into a transparent line item.
Do I charge GST as a freelance designer?
Only if GST registered (mandatory above $60,000 turnover in 12 months). If you work through agencies that withhold tax, that's separate from GST. Note the withholding rate so your records add up.
