Handyman invoice template

Handyman work is a list of small jobs, so a single "labour" line rarely satisfies the customer. Listing each task, with materials shown separately, makes the bill easy to agree on the doorstep.

How to use the handyman invoice

  1. Add the customer and the address.
  2. List each task, priced by the hour or per job.
  3. Add the materials you bought.
  4. Save and hand it over, or sign in to take payment there and then.

Per-task or hourly?

Per-task pricing (hang a door, mount a TV) is easier for customers to accept and rewards you for working quickly. Hourly pricing suits unknowns such as tracing a leak. Many handymen mix both on one invoice, which is fine as long as each line says which it is.

Handyman invoice checklist

  • Each task described in plain words
  • Hours, or the fixed price per task
  • Materials, itemised
  • Minimum or trip charge, if any
  • Licence number, if you hold one
  • Payment due on completion, and the methods you accept

Questions

Do handymen need a licence?

It depends on the state and the job. Several states require a contractor licence above a dollar threshold or for electrical and plumbing work. If you hold a licence, put the number on the invoice.

Should I charge a minimum?

A minimum charge, often one or two hours, covers travel for very small jobs. Show it on its own line when it applies.

Can I mark up materials?

Many handymen add a markup for buying and collecting materials. Agree it beforehand, or show materials at cost.
