Here’s what every handyman should include on their
invoice:
• A unique
invoice number for record-keeping purposes (e.g. Invoice #1001, #1002, etc.)
• Your business name, logo, phone number, email, and mailing address
• Your customer’s name and contact details, including their phone number, email, and address
• Line items that describe the services you provided (e.g., home repair work, plumbing, electrical work, painting, etc.)
• The cost of completing the project, factoring in labor costs, material costs and quantities, markup, profit margins, any special discounts or rates, and sales tax
• Subtotal before taxes, discounts, and service fees
• The total amount owed, including applicable taxes
• Invoice issue date and a specific payment due date. Avoid confusing terms like ‘Net 30’
• Payment terms that include payment instructions, accepted methods, late fees, and any service warranty disclaimers
• A note thanking the customer for choosing your services
As a handyman, you could be performing a wide range of interior or exterior contract work for your clients. Be specific in your invoice about the type of work you’ve completed, including details on labor and materials.
