Invoicing as a Freelance Translator

Translators bill for words, pages or hours depending on the job. Stating the language pair, word count and any specialisation on the invoice avoids confusion.

How Translators Usually Bill

Per-word pricing is common, often with minimum fees for short texts and hourly rates for editing, proofreading and transcreation.

Example Invoice Line Items

  • Translation: English to Hindi
  • Proofreading of existing translation
  • Certified translation
  • Minimum fee for short text

Add any of these as line items in the calculator above.

Costs to Plan For

  • Translation memory (CAT) tools
  • Dictionaries and glossaries
  • Professional association membership
  • Certification costs

Whether a cost is tax-deductible depends on where you live. Check with a qualified tax adviser.

Tip

Show the source word count and your per-word rate on the invoice. Clients can then check the total themselves.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I count source or target words?

Either can work, but agree on it before starting and state which one you used on the invoice.

How do I bill for very short texts?

A minimum fee covers the fixed effort of taking on a job, and it can be listed as its own line.
