What to include on a Motion Graphics Designer invoice
Your invoice needs your business details and the client's, plus a unique invoice number and date. Break down what you actually did: how many seconds of animation at what rate, revision rounds if you charge for them, style frames, sound design, whatever applies to the project. Include the project name because studios juggle dozens of jobs and their accounting department won't know what "motion design services" means. Add your payment details and make the total obvious.
Most motion designers charge 50% upfront and 50% on delivery. Some split it three ways for longer projects: deposit, midpoint after initial reviews, and final on delivery. Net 30 is common with agencies but try for Net 15 with direct clients. Deposits protect you when clients disappear halfway through.
Send your final invoice before you send the final rendered files. Clients pay faster when they're waiting on deliverables. Once they have the video, you lose leverage and invoices sit in their system for weeks. If they push back, offer to send a watermarked version first. This one habit will save you from doing awkward follow-ups while they've already posted your work online.
Frequently asked questions
How do motion graphics designers price work?
Motion designers charge $75–$200/hour or per-project. Logo animations run $500–$2,000, social media sets $1,000–$5,000, and broadcast packages $5,000–$25,000. Per-second pricing ($150–$500) is also common.
What should a motion graphics invoice include?
Include project deliverables, animation length (seconds), number of concepts, storyboard development, style frames, render specs (resolution, format), music/SFX licensing, and revision rounds.
Should motion designers charge for render time?
Render time is typically included in your project fee. However, if a client requests multiple format exports, 4K+ resolution, or complex 3D rendering, bill the additional compute time separately.
