A plumber bills a call-out and parts. A painter bills prep and coats. A roofer bills by the square and waits on a deposit. The paperwork is the same few documents, but what goes on them is not, and getting it right is the difference between an invoice that is paid this week and one that is queried for a month.
Each page below shows a real example invoice for that trade with the arithmetic worked out, lists what to put on it, covers the billing problems the trade runs into, and links the free templates and calculators that fit. They are written to be used, not skimmed.
Common questions
Is Invoice Mint only for the trades listed?
No. These pages are examples for the trades people search for most. The app and the templates work for any service business that bills for time and materials.
Do I need the app to use the templates?
No. The invoice and estimate templates are free to download as a PDF, Word file or Excel sheet, and you can fill them in without the app. The app is the faster way to do the same thing from your phone.
Are the example prices what I should charge?
No. The numbers are there to show how an invoice adds up. Your rates depend on your costs, your area and your skill, so use the calculators to work them out from your own numbers.
