What should a UI designer put on an invoice?
UI design invoices price by screen, component, or project, so list interface design, the design system, and any icon work separately. Note the screen count and included revision rounds. A breakdown by deliverable shows the client where the design effort went and what extra rounds will cost.
Your invoice needs to show exactly what design work you delivered. Specify the project name, the actual deliverables like mockups for the checkout flow or the revised homepage designs, and how many revision rounds were included. Clients will ask their finance team to verify this matches the original proposal. Include your invoice number, date, payment due date, and your business details for their accounting system.
Most UI designers charge 50% upfront before starting work and 50% on delivery of final files. Some break projects into milestones like 25% to start, 25% after initial concepts, 50% at completion. Once you have regular clients, you might invoice monthly with net 15 or net 30 terms. Avoid invoicing everything at the end of a long project because clients get sticker shock.
Send invoices the same day you deliver the final files, not three days later when you remember. Include a PDF preview of one key screen in the invoice email so they can see what they are paying for. Clients process invoices faster when they can immediately confirm the work is done. Also, always send a reminder email two days before the due date.

How the work is charged
UI designers usually quote a project fee based on the number of screens and components, or bill per screen. A design system is often priced as its own deliverable, and revisions beyond the agreed set are billed extra.
Payment terms and deposits
A deposit commonly starts the project, with the balance due on delivery or split across milestones. Editable design files are often handed over after full payment, so state that on the invoice.
Tax and compliance
If you are registered for sales tax or VAT, show it as a separate line with your registration number. Selling digital design across borders can change how tax applies, so confirm what applies to you.
Frequently asked questions
How do UI designers charge?
UI designers charge $80–$200/hour or per-screen ($200–$800). Full app design runs $5,000–$30,000+. Design systems cost $3,000–$15,000. Rates increase with complexity and interactivity.
What should a UI design invoice include?
Include screen count, platform (iOS, Android, web), design deliverables (Figma files, specs), component library, icon sets, revision rounds, and handoff documentation.
Should UI designers charge for design handoff?
Detailed developer handoff (specs, assets, animations, documentation) takes significant time. Include basic handoff in your fee but charge extra for comprehensive documentation or developer support.
