What's in the file
- Your business and customer details blocks, ready to type over.
- Line items pre-filled with typical handyman work charges — Half-day rate (up to 4 hours), Flat-pack assembly, Fixings, sealant and sundries.
- Quantity × rate formulas, a subtotal, a VAT row you can set to 0 if you're not registered, and a total that updates itself.
- Payment terms and guarantee wording written for handymen.
Excel vs doing it here
A spreadsheet is ideal if you like seeing the maths and want to keep a running log of jobs. The trade-off is that spreadsheets email badly — customers should still get a PDF. The generator on this site does the numbering, the VAT and the PDF for you, free and with no sign-up.

- Should a handyman invoice list every job separately?
- Yes. Handyman visits cover several unrelated tasks, and a one-line total invites the question "what did that cover?" — which delays payment.
- Is it better to charge hourly or by the half day?
- Half days suit lists of small jobs and protect you from travel time eating the margin. Hourly suits a single defined task where the scope is obvious.
- How do I charge for a second trip to buy parts?
- Either build it into the visit rate or show it as its own short labour line with the reason. What you must not do is hide it inside the materials price.
