Practical notes on contractor invoices in this in-browser tool (not legal or tax advice).
- What belongs on a contractor invoice?
- Who you are, who you billed, the job, labor and materials as separate lines, tax if you charge it, and when payment is due. Add the job address and payment terms in the notes so the client can match the invoice to the work.
- Can I list labor and materials as separate lines?
- Yes. Each line is a description, quantity, and rate. Use hours for labor and a quantity of 1 (or a unit count) for materials, haul-off, or other job costs. Totals update in the preview before you download the PDF.
- Is this contractor invoice template free?
- Yes. FreeInvoicePDF is free forever and ad-supported. No account, no paywall, no daily quota. Download the PDF in your browser.
- Does my job or client data leave this device?
- No. The invoice, line items, notes, and logo are processed in your browser. The PDF is built on your device with pdf-lib. Nothing is uploaded to our servers.
- Do I need an account to download the PDF?
- No. Open the contractor template, replace the sample job details, and download. A draft can stay in this browser’s local storage until you discard it or clear site data.
- How is this different from a contractor estimate?
- This page starts an invoice (a bill for work already agreed or completed). The Estimate tool is a separate, noindex page for a labeled estimate PDF (time and materials or a fixed total). It does not convert an estimate into an invoice.
- Can I add tax, a deposit note, and payment terms?
- Yes. Tax is a percentage, and discounts can be a percent or a fixed amount. If the client already paid a deposit, enter it in Amount already paid so the PDF shows the balance due. Pick Due on receipt, Net 7, Net 14, or Net 30 to set the due date, and put the job address or a remittance reference in the notes field.
