1. Indiana-specific invoice requirements

  • Sales tax line: 7.00% state rate. Most services rendered in Indiana are exempt from sales tax — but materials, parts, and tangible goods are not. State 7% uniform; very few local additions.
  • Late-fee cap: Indiana statute Ind. Code §24-4.6-1-101 caps interest on unpaid invoices at 1.5% per month. Spell out the rate in writing on every invoice and in your contract — courts won't enforce undisclosed fees.
  • Right-to-cancel notice: Customers in Indiana get 72-hour cancellation rights on certain home-services contracts. Disclose this in your terms.

2. Social Media Manager line items + standard terms

Every social media manager invoice in Indiana should itemize work clearly. Standard social media managers use Net 30 terms with a 50% deposit required upfront.

  • Monthly retainer — billed by flat.
  • Content packages — billed by flat.
  • Ad management — % of spend — billed by pct (~$15 default).
  • Content shoot day rate — billed by day.

3. Social Media Manager licensing in Indiana

4. Send and follow up

Send the invoice the same day work completes. Use software that records open events and offers a one-click online payment so you don't need to chase a check by mail. Indiana customers expect digital payment options today — accepting card and ACH typically reduces days-to-paid by 30–50%.
