Copywriter Invoice Template
Per word, per project, per hour: copywriters bill all three ways, sometimes to the same client. Say which one on the invoice and there's nothing to argue about later. Give each deliverable its own line so the landing page, the email sequence, and the blog posts are all accounted for.
Add your rate, jot down your revision policy, and send the PDF the moment the client signs off.
Tip: in the print dialog choose “Save as PDF”.

Invoicing tips for copywriters
- State how many revision rounds are included, and bill any extras as their own line. "Can we try one more version?" should come with a price.
- For per-word work, put the word count as the quantity and your per-word rate as the price.
- On bigger projects, get a deposit before you write the first headline.
Frequently asked questions
- How do copywriters usually charge?
- Per word, per project, or per hour are the usual options. Choose one, add it as a line item, and the total calculates on its own.
- Should I invoice a deposit for copywriting?
- On larger projects, yes. Invoicing 30–50% up front is common, and it means you're not three drafts in when the client decides to "go another direction."
