Musician invoicing tips
- Write the performance date, venue, set length and number of performers on the invoice.
- Charge for special song requests that require learning or arrangement.
- For session work, note the usage (demo, commercial release, sync) — it affects the fee.
- Collect a deposit for private events; venues and bars often pay on the night — invoice before you leave.
- Bill sound equipment and travel separately from your performance fee.
Recommended payment terms
Whatever you choose, agree on the terms before you start, write the exact due date and late-payment policy on the invoice, and send it as soon as the work (or milestone) is delivered.
