Hourly Invoicing FAQ

How do I invoice for hours worked?

In ZapInvoice, add a line item with a description of the work (e.g., "Web development — March 2026"), enter the number of hours in the quantity field, and set your hourly rate as the unit price. The total calculates automatically.

Can I bill different tasks at different hourly rates?

Yes. Add separate line items for each type of work. For example, "Strategy consulting" at $150/hr and "Implementation" at $100/hr on the same invoice.

Should I include a timesheet with my invoice?

For transparency, many clients appreciate a brief description of work per line item. ZapInvoice's notes field is great for including a timesheet summary.

What's a good hourly rate for freelancers?

Rates vary widely by industry and experience. Research your market, factor in taxes and expenses, and remember: your rate should reflect the value you deliver, not just the time spent.

Is this free to use?

Completely free. Unlimited hourly invoices, forever. Optional Pro upgrade available for logos and premium templates.
