What should be included in your invoice template?

When creating an invoice for your home service business, it’s important to clearly outline the work you completed and the associated costs. A well-organized invoice helps ensure prompt payment and builds trust with your clients. Here’s what to include:

  • A unique invoice number for tracking (e.g., Invoice #1001, #1002)
  • The invoice issue date and the payment due date
  • Your business name, logo, phone number, email, and mailing address
  • Your client’s name, address, and contact information
  • Detailed line items listing each service or product provided (e.g., plumbing, painting, electrical work, home repairs)
  • Itemized costs including labor, materials, hourly rates, overhead, and any applied discounts
  • Subtotal before tax, followed by taxes, discounts, and service fees
  • The final total amount due
  • Clear payment terms (e.g., accepted payment methods, due date, late fees, warranty notes)
  • A short, personalized thank-you note to show appreciation for their business

To make invoicing easier, use a professional invoice template—or streamline the process even further with Jobber, to build, send, and track professional invoices in just a few clicks.

FAQ

An invoice template is a pre-designed layout used to create professional-looking invoices quickly. It includes all the essential elements you need to bill clients—like your business name, client information, a breakdown of the services or products you provided and how much they cost, payment terms, and the total amount due.

Using an invoice template helps save time, reduces errors, and ensures your invoices look professional every time.
Here’s what an invoice looks like when you use Jobber’s invoice generator:

This blank invoice template is part of our free Job Toolkit where you can store client information, convert templated estimates to invoices, and get paid for your work. It’s perfect for small 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.
Start by adding your business name, logo, contact information, and your client’s details. Add the invoice number, issue date, and when payment is due. Then, list the services you provided with clear descriptions, and individual costs. Include any applicable taxes, discounts, or fees, and then add the total amount due. Finally, add your accepted payment methods and a note for your customer.

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

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.

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.
There are several convenient options for sending an invoice template to clients:

Email: Attach the invoice as a PDF or include it in the body of the email for quick delivery and easy tracking.
Text message: For clients who prefer mobile communication, send the PDF invoice via text message
Print and mail: For clients who prefer paper records, you can print the invoice and mail it.
In-person: For local or on-site clients, you can hand-deliver a printed invoice when the job is done.

Choose the method that best fits your client’s preferences and helps you get paid quickly.
Send an invoice as soon as you can after the job is complete—ideally, less than 48 hours after completing the 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!
Typically, an invoice should be paid within two weeks of the service date. You can test payment deadlines and see what works best for your business’s cash flow, but within 30 days is generally the rule of thumb.

Some business owners prefer to accept a deposit beforehand, and final payment the day of the service. You might want to offer financing to your customers to get some payment up front and make your high-ticket services more affordable.
