You may have to track your hours manually worked using your favorite record-keeping method, like the Microsoft Excel format. Then, transfer those hours to your invoice template. Of course, this is a tedious process. If you use FreshBooks, you can track your billable hours in the software and save a lot of time on manual record-keeping.
It’s not legally necessary, but it is a good practice and strongly encouraged. Including your tax information will clarify to your client why they are being charged what they are. This is especially true if your taxes cause your final cost to differ from your initial agreed-upon base charge.
If you downloaded the template, simply send the invoice to your client using your preferred method after you edit it. This may include email, mail, or in-person hand-off. If you use FreshBooks, you can automatically send your client your hourly invoice template free online using our software.
To bill for overtime hours, list the hours worked on your invoice like any other hour. Then, adjust your hourly rate to match your overtime rate for each of those overtime hours. Add all overtime and non-overtime hours to your total as per usual. It’s best to mark those hours as overtime so it’s clear to the client why the rate is different.
You can include a discount on your hourly invoice template by FreshBooks if you would like to have one. This is true whether you’re downloading the template to edit or using the Free Invoice Generator online. FreshBooks offers the template in a variety of formats, include Excel, Word, Google Sheets, Google Docs, and PDF.
