Contractor invoice template

For contractors and trades — remodelers, electricians, plumbers, landscapers and handypersons — who bill for labor and materials.

What to include

• Your business name, contact details and license number if you show it on paperwork
• The client's name and the job site address
• Invoice number, invoice date and due date
• Labor and materials as separate lines, plus equipment, permits or disposal fees
• Any deposit or progress payment already received
• Payment terms and how to pay

Tips

• List labor and materials separately. In some states they are taxed differently — use the per-line “Tax” checkbox to tax only the lines that are taxable.
• For larger jobs, invoice in stages (progress billing) and reference the stage in the description, for example “Phase 2 of 3: framing”.
• Bill approved change orders as their own lines so the client can match them to what they signed.
• Some clients or lenders ask for lien waivers when they pay. Those are separate legal documents; Slipfold does not create them.

How to fill it in

1. Open the template and add your business name, contact details and (optionally) your logo. They're remembered on this device for next time.
2. Add your client's name and address, or pick a saved client.
3. Edit the starter line items, enter quantities and rates, and set tax, discount or shipping if they apply.
4. Choose payment terms (for example Net 30) and add payment instructions in Notes.
5. Download the PDF and send it to your client from your own email.
