What a handyman's invoice must include
- Your business name and contact details (and logo, if you have one)
- A unique invoice number — sequential is fine, gaps are fine, duplicates are not
- Invoice date and payment due date
- The client's name and the job address
- Itemised lines: each piece of work and each material, with its price
- The total, and whether VAT (or your local sales tax) is included
- How to pay: bank details or a payment link
- Payment terms — "due within 7 days" is a term; silence is a suggestion
Tips from the trade
- One line per odd job — the customer can drop the mirror without renegotiating the gate, and the yes comes faster.
- Put your hourly rate on its own line for anything open-ended, so the small extras stay billable.
- Invoice from the kerb, the same visit — a week of small jobs leaks money precisely because "I'll sort the bill later".
- Keep the descriptions plain: "ease & adjust sticking door" tells the customer exactly what they paid for.
Common questions
- What should a handyman's invoice include?
- Your business details, a unique invoice number, the date and payment due date, the client's name and job address, itemised lines for work and materials, the total (with VAT position stated if registered), and how to pay. The template above carries all of it.
- Is this handyman invoice template really free?
- Yes — view it, download it as a PDF and use it for real jobs, no signup asked. It's from SoloDesks, a quoting and invoicing app for solo tradespeople; if you'd rather have the invoice numbered, sent and chased for you, the app has a free plan too.
- Do my invoice numbers have to be sequential?
- They should be unique and consistent — 001, 002, 003 is the easy convention, and it's what makes 'invoice 032' unambiguous on the phone and at tax time. Don't reuse or duplicate numbers; gaps are fine.
- When should I send the invoice?
- The day the job finishes — from the van, ideally. An invoice sent three weeks late quietly tells the customer that paying it late is fine too, and it's the single most fixable cause of slow payment.
