What should a handyman invoice include?

Your business name and contact details, the customer’s name and address, an invoice number and date, each task or repair on its own line with hours or a flat price, materials, the total due, the due date, and how the customer can pay.

Should I charge by the hour or by the job on a handyman invoice?

Either works, and many handymen mix both: a flat price for predictable tasks like mounting a TV, and hourly labor for open-ended repairs. The hourly rate calculator can help you set a rate that covers overhead and profit.

Is this invoice template really free?

Yes. There is no sign-up and nothing to install. The generator runs entirely in your browser — the details you type are not sent to or saved on our servers. Fill it in, then download or print it as many times as you like.

How do I save the invoice as a PDF?

Click “Download / print PDF”. Your browser’s print window opens with only the invoice on the page; choose “Save as PDF” (or “Microsoft Print to PDF”) as the destination to save a file you can email or text to your customer.

Can my customer pay the invoice by card?

A PDF invoice can only ask for payment — your customer still has to mail a check or find another way to pay. With a free Redbud Way account you can send the invoice with a card pay link instead, optionally collect a deposit first, and the money is paid out to your bank about two days after the customer pays. Redbud Way charges a 0% platform fee; standard Stripe card processing fees apply.

What to include on a handyman invoice

Your name and contact info: Business name, phone, and email so the customer knows who to pay and how to reach you.
Customer and address: The customer’s name and the address where you did the work.
Each task on its own line: List every repair or install separately — “patch drywall”, “replace faucet” — rather than one vague “handyman services” line.
Hours or flat rates: Show hourly labor as hours × rate, or a flat price per task. Mixing both on one invoice is fine.
Materials: Parts and supplies you bought, at cost or with your handling markup.
Total and due date: The amount due and when — handyman jobs are usually due on completion or within a week.

Tips for getting handyman invoices paid faster

Keep a “honey-do list” invoice itemized by task. Customers happily pay for eight visible fixes; they question one big number.
Include a minimum service charge line if you have a trip minimum, so it is not a surprise.
Snap before and after photos and mention them in your notes — it heads off “was that really done?” calls.
Ask for payment on the spot when the job is small. Every day between the job and the invoice is a day you are not paid.

Pricing the job first? Use the job cost estimator or the markup calculator. See also Redbud Way for handymen.
