Free invoice template for contractors

What to put on a contractor invoice

• Your business name and contact details so the customer knows who to pay and how to reach you.
• A unique invoice number so you and the customer can both find it later.
• The customer's name and, for bigger jobs, the job address.
• Dates: the date you issued it and the date payment is due.
• Line items that say what was done or supplied, with quantity and price. Separate labor from materials when you can.
• Tax, deposits and payments received, ending in a clear balance due.
• How to pay: check, Zelle, Venmo, card link. The easier it is, the faster you get paid.

Payment terms people use

“Due on receipt” is common for small jobs. “Net 15” or “Net 30” gives the customer 15 or 30 days. For larger work, many contractors take a deposit up front and bill the rest in stages. If you plan to charge late fees, say so on the invoice and check your state's rules first.

When a template stops being enough

A template works for a few invoices. Once you are tracking who has paid, chasing late payments, and rebuilding the same invoice every month, an app saves real time. InvoiceAJob keeps your customers, sends a link the customer can pay online by card, shows what is paid or overdue, and emails automatic payment reminders on Pro.
