Why use a template made for your trade?
A generic invoice asks for a description, a quantity and a price. A template made for your trade shows which lines to split (parts and labor, session and prints, loads and miles) and which terms to state (deposits, revisions, valid-until dates). It also shows where sales tax might apply. That makes the invoice quicker to approve and quicker to pay. Every template opens the same editor, so you can switch layouts and colours, add your logo and payment details, and download the PDF. Check the sales tax rules for your state before you charge tax on services.
Frequently asked questions
Are these invoice templates free?
Yes. Every template is free to fill in and download as a PDF, with no sign-up and no watermark. Guest invoices stay in your browser.
Can I download a template as a Word, Excel or Google Docs file?
No. You fill in the template online and download a PDF, which looks the same on every device. The totals, tax and payment details are worked out for you, which a blank Word or Excel file can’t do.
My trade isn’t listed. Which template should I use?
Start with the freelance template if you bill for projects or hours, or the contractor template if you bill for materials and labor. Every template can be changed line by line.
