Contractor Invoice Templates

When you use our invoice generator, you can make an invoice that includes all the necessary information in an easy-to-read format for your clients.

Alternatively, when using our contractor invoice templates, the main sections have already been laid out for you. This helps you keep track of your work for accounting purposes and lets your customers easily see what they’re getting for their money. It also helps to remind them of the total cost and how they can pay for your services.

The description of the work to be done should be brief, but it should be detailed as well. Mention any specifics, not just the general type of job, where possible. You may refer to your invoices in the future, so the details will help you remember exactly what you did. Your description should also be easy for the customer to understand, so they know exactly what work was done.

When you list the materials, include the description of the materials, the quantity you’ll need, the cost per piece, and the total amount of that material. It’s generally a good idea to include a serial number or ID numbers for materials used in case you want to do a follow-up job and want to use the same materials.
You’ll also want to include labor costs in the same way. Write that it’s for labor, including how much you charge for labor per hour and the number of hours the job will take. Some companies include the number of people working on a project to further justify their final price.

Finally, include a few photos of the work done. You’re probably already taking a few photos for your own reference your company Facebook/Yelp page. Everybody loves seeing before/after photos. Put these photos side by side to increase the dramatic effect.

The bottom of your invoice should have a total of all materials and labor together. Add the taxes and subtract a deposit if applicable, then write down the final amount due. You may want to write down when the total amount is due and the types of payments you accept so the customer has all of the information they need to pay you.
