A professional invoice is how you actually get paid. Here's exactly what to put on one, how to number and track them, and how to chase the late ones.
Self-EmployedThe short answer is 25–30% of your net income — here's how to land on your exact percentage and never get surprised in April.
Work backwards from the income you want, your real billable hours, and your expenses — then price projects or retainers, not just hours. The free rate calculator gives you the floor.
Retainers and fixed-project fees usually beat hourly once you're efficient, because you keep the upside of working fast. Confirm any price clears your break-even.
Use a pipeline and retainer tracker so you always know booked revenue and what's unpaid. See our invoicing guide.
