What to put on a contractor invoice
Ten things that answer the customer’s questions before they call you about the bill.
- Your business name, phone and address So the customer knows who to pay and how to reach you.
- Your license number Some states and cities require it on invoices and estimates. Check the rules where you work.
- An invoice number and the date Give every invoice its own number. It’s how you both find it later.
- The customer and the job address If the bill goes to someone else, like a landlord or a property manager, list both.
- What you did, in plain words “Framed and drywalled the basement bedroom and painted two coats” says more than “remodel work.”
- Materials on their own lines By name, or as one line if you priced them together.
- Labor, by the hour or as one price Whichever way you charge, say which it is.
- Change orders Work the customer added after you started, on its own line, so the total matches what they agreed to.
- The total and what’s still owed Show any tax, anything already paid, and the balance due.
- When and how to pay, and your warranty Due on receipt or by a date, the ways you take payment, and what your warranty covers.

Four ways to get paid sooner
Send it before you leave
Fill it in on your phone in the driveway and send the PDF while the job is fresh.
Add before and after photos
The room before and after answers “what did they do?” before anyone asks.
List every way you take payment
Card link, check, cash or bank transfer. The fewer steps it takes, the easier it is to pay you.
Keep your numbers in order
New invoice remembers your last number and adds one, so no two invoices share a number.
Questions about this template
Every trade’s invoice and estimate is on the free templates page.
Is this contractor invoice template free?
Yes. There’s no account, no trial and no email address to give. Fill it in and download the PDF as often as you like.
Where does what I type go?
Nowhere. It stays in this browser on this device, so it’s there next time you open the page. Wakeman never sees it, and Clear everything removes it.
Will the invoice say Wakeman on it?
No. The PDF shows only your business: your name, your logo if you add one, and your details.
How do I send it to a customer?
Tap Download PDF and attach the file to an email or a text. On a phone that can share files, Send PDF opens your phone’s share menu instead.
How do I bill a deposit or a progress payment?
Put what the customer has already paid in Paid so far, and the balance due updates. On a long job, send an invoice at each stage you agreed on, with that stage’s work on it.
Do I charge sales tax on contracting work?
It depends on your state, and sometimes on the job. Check with your state’s tax department, then put the rate in the Sales tax box, or leave it empty.
What’s the difference between an estimate and an invoice?
An estimate is the price before you start, for the customer to approve. An invoice is the bill once the work is done. To quote first, use the contractor estimate template.
Can I print a blank one to fill in by hand?
Yes. Blank copy to print downloads a page with lines to write on, with your business details at the top if you’ve typed them.

Can’t answer the phone with your hands full?
