The number of revision rounds in a freelance contract depends on three factors: your discipline, the project fee, and the client's organizational complexity. A logo designer charging $500 for a simple mark can reasonably include two rounds. A brand designer building a full identity system for an enterprise client at $8,000 needs four structured rounds. Stakeholder review takes time, and multiple passes are expected.
The single most common mistake freelancers make in revision language is leaving the definition of a “revision round” unwritten. Without a definition, a client who submits feedback in three separate emails over two weeks may believe they have only used one round. A clear written definition (consolidated feedback, submitted in a single document, within a specified number of business days) eliminates that ambiguity and makes the clause enforceable.
The contract clause this tool generates is a starting point. Replace the hourly rate placeholder with your actual rate, adjust the business-day window to match your workflow, and paste it into your contract or scope of work document. Pair it with the revision definition shown in the result above. The “what counts” and “not included” language is discipline-specific and ready to use.
