Free Handyman Invoice Template

When you’re writing the invoice, include a detailed list of the interior or exterior contract work you provided and how much it cost. The customer then receives this document and knows how much they need to pay and by what date.

Here’s what to include on a handyman invoice:

• Invoice number for record-keeping purposes (e.g., Invoice #1001, #1002, etc.)
• Invoice issue date and the payment due date
• Company info (business name, logo, phone number, email, mailing address)
• Client details (name, address, contact details)
• Line items with product and service descriptions (e.g., home repair work, plumbing, electrical work, painting, etc.)
• Costs associated with completing the project (labor costs, materials and quantities, hourly rates, overhead costs, any special discounts)
• Subtotal before taxes, discounts, and service fees
• Total amount owed, including applicable taxes and discounts
• Invoice payment terms (payment instructions, accepted payment methods, late fees, any service warranty disclaimers)
• Personal note thanking the customer for choosing your services

This handyman invoice template is part of our free Job Toolkit where you can store client information, convert templated handyman estimates to invoices, and get paid for your work. It’s perfect for handyman business owners (like you!) who are used to formatting and editing invoices on paper, or in Microsoft Word, Google Docs, Google Sheets, or Excel spreadsheets.

Bill and invoice are two terms for the same thing: a document that presents the amount of money a customer owes for handyman services. 

The difference depends on whether you’re a buyer (customer) or seller (small business owner). Invoice is the term that service providers use, while a client might refer to that invoice as a bill they have to pay. In other words—a service provider sends an invoice to a customer, and the client receives a bill.

Handyman bills and invoices should include a complete breakdown of all project costs, as well as payment information such as the due date, payment methods, and subtracted deposits.

Send an invoice as soon as you can after the job is complete—ideally, less than 48 hours after finishing a handyman job. Sending invoices late can lead to confusion and delay you from getting paid. Just make sure you and your client agree that the job is done!

Clients should pay their handyman invoices within two weeks of the service date. You can try out different payment deadlines and see what works best for your handyman business’s cash flow, but within 30 days is usually best.

Some handymen like to accept a deposit beforehand, and final payment the day of the service. You might want to offer financing to your customers to get partial payment up front and make your high-ticket services more affordable, like tiling or home upgrade projects.
