Also add a due date, a deposit credit, and a balance. Next, bill these five lines on every job. ### Labor Hours on site, or a flat rate for a defined job. Either way, state which one you billed. ### Parts Every fixture, valve, and fitting gets its own line with a part number. ### Permit or inspection fee Pass the city or county fee straight through at cost, on its own line. ### Trip or diagnostic fee The charge for showing up and finding the problem. State it even if you waive it. ### Disposal and hauling An old water heater or a pulled toilet costs money to haul. So keep it visible. Pricing the next job before you invoice this one?

The invoice is the bill. - Estimate. Goes out before the work. Projected costs, a deposit request, and the client’s signature. - Invoice. Goes out after the work. Actual costs, the deposit as a credit, and a due date. Need the estimate first? Use the plumbing estimate template (https://www.simplywise.com/blog/plumbing-estimate-template/). Or skip the paperwork. Turn a photo into an itemized estimate in about 6 seconds with SimplyWise Cost Estimator →. Free to try. ## How to Fill Out a Plumbing Invoice in 5 Steps ### Step 1: Confirm what happened on site First, check the diagnostic notes against the estimate. Then note any changed part or permit. In other words, the invoice bills what happened, not what was quoted. ### Step 2: Fill in the contractor and client blocks Next, add your business name, phone, and license number, then the client’s billing address. Also list a different property address separately. ### Step 3: Enter every line item by category Then list the trip fee, labor, parts with part numbers, the permit fee, and disposal as separate lines. A lumped bill is the one a client calls about. ### Step 4: Apply tax, the deposit credit, and the balance Add tax where your state requires it, then subtract the deposit. What is left is the balance due. Show all three lines. ### Step 5: State the terms and send it Finally, write the due date, late payment policy, and warranty in plain words. Then send it the same day. After all, a bill that arrives fast gets paid fast. ## Worked Example: A Water Heater Replacement With a Permit For example, Rapid Flow Plumbing found a leaking water heater. Then the crew came back the next day with a new unit and a permit. Finally, the invoice went out that evening. ### What went on the invoice - Line items. Trip fee, flat install labor, the water heater and expansion tank with part numbers, the permit fee, and haul away. - Totals block. Subtotal, tax, a deposit credit, and the balance due. - Terms. Due on receipt, late payment policy, and warranty. Figures here are placeholders, not a price for a water heater, a permit, or labor. Price the job with the construction calculators (https://www.simplywise.com/blog/construction-calculators/) first. ## What Is in This Plumbing Invoice Template The PDF, Excel, and Google Sheets files carry the same blocks in the same order. ### Contractor and client blocks Business and client names, addresses, phone, and license number. ### Invoice details block Invoice number, date, due date, and job number. ### Line item table Fourteen numbered rows with part number, quantity, unit price, and amount.

How do I show a deposit on the invoice? Should the permit fee and the trip or diagnostic fee get their own lines, or fold into labor? ### Measuring and getting paid Can I write up a job from a photo instead of measuring and listing parts by hand? Does this template have a place for sales tax? Does the free template include a way to take card payment? ## More Free Templates for Contractors PLUMBING ESTIMATE. Rapid Flow Plumbing.
