Handyman Invoice Template
Invoices for odd jobs, repairs and small projects
Bill handyman jobs by the hour or by the job, add materials, call-out and trip charges, and send a professional invoice from your phone before you leave the property.
Get paid before you leave the job
Handyman work is fast and varied — a shelf here, a leaking tap there. The quicker the invoice goes out, the quicker you get paid. A clear invoice that lists your time, materials and any call-out charge avoids the awkward "what was this for?" conversation.
- Bill hourly, per job or with a minimum charge
- Add materials at cost or with a markup
- Send it from your phone on site
Built for handymen and odd-job pros
The lines that make a handyman invoice complete.
Hourly or job rate
Bill the time spent or a fixed price per job — whichever you quoted.
Materials
List parts and materials you bought for the job, with receipts available if the client asks.
Call-out and trip charges
Show a minimum call-out or travel charge as its own line so clients understand it.
Task list
Itemise each task completed on multi-job visits so the client can see the value.
Before and after
Keep photos with your job records to back up the invoice if questions come up.
Licence details
In many US states, work above a set value needs a contractor's licence — show your licence number if you have one.
Handyman invoice example
A half-day visit fixing a door, hanging shelves and replacing a tap washer.

| Materials: brackets, fixings, washers | 1 | 64.00 | 64.00 |
| Trip charge | 1 | 35.00 | 35.00 |
| Subtotal | 324.00 | ||

Check your local licensing rules: many US states cap the value of work you can do without a contractor's licence.

How handymen charge

Materials markup
Materials billed at cost plus a percentage to cover the time spent sourcing them.
Handyman invoicing FAQs
Should handymen charge by the hour or by the job?
Hourly suits repairs where the time is unpredictable; a fixed price suits common, well-defined jobs. Many handymen use both, with a minimum call-out charge.
Can I add a markup to materials?
Yes — a markup covers the time spent buying and collecting materials. Agree it with the client upfront and keep the receipts.
What is a trip or call-out charge?
A fixed fee to cover travel time and costs to reach the job, often charged on top of labour or as a minimum charge.
Do I need a licence to work as a handyman?
It depends on where you work. Many US states require a contractor's licence for jobs above a certain value or for electrical and plumbing work — check your state's rules.
When should I send a handyman invoice?
Ideally before you leave the job. Invoices sent the same day get paid much faster than ones sent at the end of the week.
