What the free invoice template includes

The fields a customer needs to recognize the bill

Use only the fields that apply to the completed work, but make the customer, charges, dates and payment instructions unmistakable.

Business and customer

Show who issued the invoice, who owes the payment and where the service occurred.

Invoice number and dates

Keep the invoice number, issue date and due date together for both parties.

Labor, materials and added items

Itemize completed work, materials, approved changes and any other recognizable charges.

Total and payment instructions

Present the remaining balance and tell the customer how and when to pay your business.

Built for real service work

A useful contractor invoice records what was actually completed

The invoice can preserve the service address, selected work areas, completed scope and approved changes. That is more useful than a generic bill containing only a customer name and total.

Before sending
  • Confirm the billing customer and service address.
  • Replace estimated work with the work actually completed.
  • Confirm each itemized charge and approved change.
  • Confirm the due date and payment destination.
Keep with the invoice
  • Recognizable labor and material descriptions.
  • Invoice number, issue date and due date.
  • Applicable terms selected by the business.
  • A customer-facing copy in the preferred language.
