Who it's for / Yoga & fitness instructors
Yoga and fitness instructors who teach as contractors usually invoice each studio or gym once a month for the classes they taught, at a rate per class, sometimes with extra per student above a set number. Corporate classes are billed per class to the company, workshops and retreats often split the ticket sales with the studio, and private clients pay per session or for a pack. Tell Clodou what you taught and at what rate: it writes each invoice and keeps track of who has paid.
"Invoice Lotus Room Studio for October: 12 vinyasa classes at $45 and 2 sub classes at $45" writes two lines, $630. Clodou does not read your schedule, so give it the number of classes; for one line per class, give the dates.
"Invoice Lotus Room for the Sunday workshop: 60% of $1,350 in ticket sales, $810" writes one line that shows how you got there. Clodou uses the figures you give it.
Add the company or the private client once and invoice each month's classes or each pack. A fixed monthly arrangement, such as a weekly class at a set price, can be a retainer that Clodou prepares as a draft every month.
Many studios and gyms pay instructors a flat rate per class, sometimes plus an amount per student above a set number. Invoice each studio once a month with the number of classes, such as 12 classes at $45, and any extra per student as its own line with the amount you work out from their attendance report. Sub classes for other teachers can be their own line so the studio sees them.
Workshops and retreats are often split with the studio, such as 60% of the ticket sales to the teacher: give Clodou the amount and the figures in the line, such as 60% of $1,350, $810. Companies are billed per class for lunchtime or wellness classes, often with their purchase order number in the note. A weekly corporate class at a fixed monthly price can be a retainer.
Private clients pay per session or for a pack paid up front, such as 5 sessions at $85. A pack is one invoice with one line, and you can log each session as non-billable time on the client's project to see how many are used. Whether your classes are taxed where you teach is for you to check with your accountant; Clodou applies the rate you set.
