A contractor invoice covers the work being billed as line items, a totals block, and the payment terms for when payment is due.
Share template
The job starts moving, materials get ordered, and the client wants proof that the money side is tracked as closely as the schedule. A contractor invoice puts the cost of the work in front of them in a format that doesn’t turn into a fresh spreadsheet every time, so nobody’s guessing what’s been billed and what’s still outstanding. The layout uses mustard accents with Zilla Slab headings over Inter body text, so the important numbers read like jobsite labels rather than marketing copy.
The invoice keeps the wording plain about when payment is due, what deposit gets collected to book work, and when the remainder is expected, plus the line about pausing work if payment isn’t settled by the due date. The totals sit right with the pricing, so the client reaches the amount due before they get into any fine print... which helps when the main worry is the job dragging on and costs creeping up without warning.
In Plutio, the invoices, payments and receipts tools let you replace the placeholder line items with your own work and prices, then send the invoice to a client. A connected payment method lets the client pay online if you want that option.

| Part | What it covers |
|---|---|
Line items | The Line items section holds the billed work as editable rows, so you can replace the placeholders with your own descriptions and prices. |
Payment is due on the date | The Payment is due on the date section includes a Totals block and the payment-terms paragraph, so you can confirm the due date language before sending. |
Thanks, I appreciate the chance to do this work | The closing section gives you space for a short thank-you, so the invoice ends cleanly after the terms. |

Line items
Payment is due on the date shown above. I require 30% to book work when a proposal is signed and the remaining 70% on completion. If payment is not received by the due date I may pause work until it is settled.

A contractor invoice usually includes line items that describe the work, a total amount due, and payment terms that say when payment is due. This template includes line items, a totals block, and written payment terms.
Payment terms normally say when payment is due and what happens if payment is late. This invoice includes wording about a deposit to book work, the remaining balance on completion, and pausing work if payment isn’t received by the due date.
Separate line items make it clearer what the client is paying for and what changed from one bill to the next. The line items in this template are placeholders, so you can group or separate labor and materials however you price the job.
Some contractors include a clause that work may pause if payment isn’t received by the due date. This template’s payment-terms paragraph includes that language, but local law and your agreement can affect how it’s enforced.
A signed contract isn’t required to issue an invoice, but many jobs rely on one to define scope, change orders, and payment structure. If the job needs signed terms, pair the invoice with a [contract the client signs in the browser](/product/contracts).
An invoice can be paid online when a payment method is connected on the sender’s side. This template notes that you’ll need a connected payment method if you want the client to pay online.
