Invoice for Web Billing

Okay, so I'm doing my first major web job that I'm getting paid for. I've been hired by my university and they are paying me an hourly wage. The site is getting ready to launch and I want to submit an invoice bill for my work in Janurary, Feburary and part of March. So I'm curious does anyone have any recommendations of how I should setup the invoice? Should I make my own in excel? Maybe buy some from Staples? Anyone have a good one already made that they wouldn't mind sending me? Should I break it down according to different stage of the project, like graphics, layout coding, scripting, database work, online application, that type of stuff?

Any advice would be great!

An invoice can be anything, really. Your name, address, Tax ID # (social) -- which after $600 their accounting department will demand before payment and then an itemized detail of what you are charging for. Break it out how it makes sense to best explain it.

The Excel template would probably be just fine.

To expand more on what medialint said, you can find 11 Excel invoice templates at http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/t...1377071033.aspx for free download. I use the "Price quotation without tax" and "Price quote with tax calcluation" for my different projects.

Good luck.

Hi.

Were you hired as an employee or contractor/developer?

If you have set your hourly rate, then just use something like quickbooks. It will help you with managing cost and creating your invoices. (hours) X (rate)

Dont forget taxes. If you were hired as a contractor, they will most likely 1099 you. So keep track of that.

Do not place you social security # on any invoice. Only on the tax forms that you would get in the mail.

Hope that helped. GL

I agree, but they will 1099 and are required to, so they need a tax ID # and without it they often won't pay you ... I worked a number of years in an accounting department and we'd pay without a tax ID up to the $600 1099 reporting limit. At that point, if we do not have a tax ID number, there will be no more payments until such time as it is received.
