Virtual Assistant Invoice Template

Virtual assistants juggle inboxes, calendars and projects for several clients, often on monthly retainers. This invoice shows the retainer, any extra hours and one-off projects, plus tools billed at cost. Clients see where their time went without opening a spreadsheet.

Free. Edit online and download as a PDF.

Your hours, organized as neatly as their inbox.

What to include on a virtual assistant invoice

  • Hours by task category

    Group time by type of work, such as inbox, calendar, customer support or data entry. Clients see where their hours go and what to hand off next.

  • Retainer balance and rollover

    Show hours included, hours used and whether any carry into next month. A stated rollover rule ends the month-end guesswork.

  • One-off projects

    A launch, an inbox cleanup or a new booking system belongs on its own line, with a fixed price or its own hours, apart from the retainer.

  • Tools and subscriptions

    If you pay for software used on the client's behalf, list it at cost with the billing period. Better still, have the client hold the account.

Billing tips for virtual assistants.

  • Track time as you work

    Use a timer or a log with short task notes. Month-end estimates tend to miss the five-minute jobs, and small tasks are where VA time goes.

  • Decide your rollover rule upfront

    Let unused hours roll for one month, or not at all, and say so in your agreement. Open-ended rollover can leave you owing weeks of work.

  • Change rates at a new billing period

    Give notice of a new hourly or retainer rate and start it with a fresh billing period. Clean breaks keep invoices easy to follow.

Virtual Assistant invoicing, answered.

Should a virtual assistant charge hourly or by retainer?

Hourly suits new or occasional clients. Once the work is steady, a monthly retainer for a set number of hours gives the client priority and gives you predictable income. On Pro, retainers can go out as recurring invoices.

How do I show time on a VA invoice?

Summarize hours by task type on the invoice, and attach a detailed log if the client wants one. It answers questions without crowding the page.

Do virtual assistants need to charge sales tax?

In many states administrative services aren't taxed, but some states tax certain business or data services. If yours taxes services broadly, check with a tax professional.
