Handyman Invoice Template
A typical visit: the sticking door, a drywall patch, two curtain rods, and a "while you're here, could you look at…" The invoice has to make sense of three hours spent bouncing between rooms, so the customer can see what got done and what each piece cost.
Bill hourly, per job, or a mix, and add materials and trip charges. Fill in your details and the job list, check the preview, and download a PDF you can hand over before you pack up.

Invoicing tips for handymans
- Charge hourly for most handyman work ($50-$85/hour depending on your market), and use flat prices for specific tasks when that's simpler ("Install ceiling fan: $125 flat").
- Add a trip charge or minimum call-out fee ($50-$75) for jobs under 2 hours. It covers your drive and stops a ten-minute fix from costing you money.
- Itemize materials or roll them into the job price ("Drywall patch — materials included"). Either works; just pick one and stick with it so customers know what to expect.
Frequently asked questions
- Should I charge hourly or per job?
- Hourly is simpler for mixed visits ("3 hours × $65 = $195"), but customers like flat pricing for defined jobs ("Install ceiling fan: $125"). Hourly gives you flexibility. Per-job gives them predictability.
- Do I invoice same-day or send it later?
- Get paid the same day for residential work when you can. It saves you from chasing money later. Leave an invoice or email a PDF receipt for their records, but don't drive off unpaid.
