Invoice Generator

A UGC creator invoice should include: your name and contact details, the brand's name and contact, an invoice number, the invoice date and payment due date, an itemised list of deliverables and their fees (creation, licensing, add-ons), the total amount due, and your payment details. Including a brief description of what each line item covers helps brands approve invoices faster and reduces questions.

Standard practice varies: many creators invoice 50% upfront before shoot, 50% on delivery; some invoice 100% on delivery for smaller projects with established clients. For new brand relationships, a 50% upfront deposit is reasonable and protects you if the project is cancelled. Send the final invoice on the same day you deliver the content, not days later.

Net-14 (payment due 14 days after invoice) is common for smaller one-off projects. Net-30 is more typical when working with larger brands that have formal accounts-payable processes. Anything longer than net-30 should be compensated with a late-payment clause — for example, 2% per month on overdue amounts — which the Invoice Generator can include automatically.

Only if your rolling 12-month trading income exceeds £90,000, which is the UK VAT registration threshold. Below that threshold, you do not charge VAT. Above it, you must register for VAT and add 20% to UK client invoices. The Invoice Generator supports both VAT-registered and non-registered invoices and can display the correct VAT status for your account.
