Invoice templates by industry

Plumbing invoice template

A plumbing invoice bills the service call, the labor and every part fitted, each on its own line so the homeowner can follow it.

HVAC invoice template

Heating and cooling work makes for long invoices: equipment with serial numbers, refrigerant by the pound, labor, and sometimes a maintenance plan.

Cleaning invoice template

Cleaning clients pay for visits, so a good cleaning invoice lists each one with its date and puts any extras on top.

Contractor invoice template

Building and remodeling jobs are paid in stages, so each contractor invoice has to show what this stage costs, what has been paid and what is still owed.

Electrician invoice template

Electrical work is billed in pieces the customer can check: the call, the hours, the materials and the permit.

Landscaping invoice template

Lawn and landscape work is billed by the visit for upkeep and by the unit for materials: mulch by the yard, sod by the square foot, plants by the each.

Consulting invoice template

Consultants bill for hours, a retainer or a defined deliverable, and a client's finance team checks the invoice against the engagement letter.

Freelance invoice template

Writers, designers and developers mostly bill by the project or milestone, and the invoice is often what releases the final files.

Auto repair invoice template

Car owners, and in some states regulators, expect a repair invoice to name the vehicle, every part and every labor operation.

Photography invoice template

Most photography bookings start with a retainer, so the final invoice shows the package, the extras and the balance left after it.

Handyman invoice template

Handyman jobs are a list of small tasks, often at one address, with a trip or minimum charge and a store run for materials.

Need a price before the job? The estimate and quote generator uses the same layouts, adds an expiry date, a deposit and a signature line. For employee pay records, see the pay stub templates. New to invoicing? Start with what an invoice is and what goes on one.

Invoice only for real work. Invoices must describe goods or services actually provided or agreed. Read our acceptable use policy.

Frequently asked questions

Are these invoice templates free?
Yes. The online templates and every download, including the Word, Excel and PDF files, are free, with no signup, no watermark and no limit.
Should I use a template or the invoice generator?
Use a template if you want a file to edit in Word, Excel or Google Docs. Use the invoice generator if you want the totals, sales tax and due date worked out for you and a PDF in one step. Open the invoice generator.
How do I write a simple invoice?
Keep only what the client needs to pay you: your name and contact details, the client's name, an invoice number and date, one line per item or service with its amount, the total, and when and how to pay. The Simple layout and the blank PDF are built for this.
What payment terms should I put on an invoice?
Use the terms you agreed with the client, such as due on receipt, Net 15 or Net 30, and show the due date on the invoice. See every payment term explained.
Which invoice template should I use?
Use the online generator if you want the totals, tax and due date worked out and a polished PDF. Use the Excel file if you prefer a spreadsheet that calculates. Use Word or the PDFs to fill in by hand or on screen.
Can I use the invoice template in Google Docs or Sheets?
Yes. Upload the Word file to Google Drive and save it as a Google Doc, or upload the Excel file and save it as a Google Sheet. The formulas in the spreadsheet keep working in Sheets. The steps are in the Google Docs and Sheets section above.
How is an industry template different from a blank one?
It opens with line items and wording a trade usually needs, such as parts and labor for plumbing or visits for lawn care. You change the prices and details to fit the job.
Do the templates include sales tax?
Yes. Mark each taxable line and enter your rate; tax is worked out on those lines after any discount. Which items are taxable depends on your state.
Can I add my logo?
Yes. In the online generator, upload a PNG or JPG. In the Word file, insert your logo in the top left.
