Hourly work needs two numbers per line: the rate and the hours. if you show only the total, your clients will most likely question it.

This template shows the rate and the hours, in a serif face with wide-tracked labels that gives the page an editorial feel rather than an administrative one. The bank details sit right under your name at the top, aligned on the same label column, so the whole "who to pay" block reads as one thing. At the foot of the table there is room for adjustments, which is where a package discount goes so it is visible rather than buried in a lower rate.

What this hourly invoice includes

A wide-tracked INVOICE title with the invoice number beneath it
A Billed to line for the client
A Pay to block with your name, address and phone number

Who this hourly invoice is for

Web designers and developers, copywriters, editors, consultants and any freelancer who bills time. It suits people who work at more than one rate, since each line carries its own, and anyone who discounts a bundle of hours and wants the discount stated openly.

Note: This template is provided for convenience and general information only and is not legal, tax or accounting advice. What an invoice must show, whether you need to charge sales tax and how long you must keep copies depend on where you and your client are based. Check your local rules, or ask your accountant, if you are unsure.
