Add Expenses

Expenses are any additional costs not related directly to your design work or time. Many expenses are fixed rates, and should be included in the rate given to your client. However, you may wish to separate the expenses from your estimate to help the client understand the overall fee. Expenses include:

  • Stock photography and illustration
  • Printing costs, including paper
  • Cost of any materials, such as in package design
