A rate card streamlines pricing conversations and keeps your invoicing consistent across clients. Here's what to include.
Your core services and pricing model
List your main service offerings with clear pricing — hourly rate, project-based ranges, or package pricing, depending on how you typically price work.
Standard package options, if applicable
If you offer tiered packages (basic, standard, premium), outline what's included in each at a glance.
Add-on or extra services
List common add-ons (rush delivery, extra revisions, additional platforms) with their own pricing, so clients see the full picture upfront.
Your standard payment terms
Include your typical deposit requirement, payment terms (Net 15, Net 30), and accepted payment methods for reference.
A note on customization
Make clear that the rate card reflects standard pricing, and that custom or complex projects may be quoted individually.
Why this supports better invoicing
A rate card set once means your invoices consistently reflect pre-agreed, considered pricing — rather than being negotiated freshly, and inconsistently, with every new client.
