What's in the file
- Your business and customer details blocks, ready to type over.
- Line items pre-filled with typical carpentry work charges — Joinery labour (per day), Timber and sheet materials, Ironmongery: hinges, handles and fixings.
- Quantity × rate formulas, a subtotal, a tax row you set to your own combined rate, and a total that updates itself.
- Payment terms and warranty wording written for carpenters.
Excel vs doing it here
A spreadsheet is ideal if you like seeing the math 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 tax math and the PDF for you, free and with no signup.

- Should I charge for the design or drawing?
- Yes, as its own line, especially if the customer might take the drawing elsewhere. Credit it against the job if they proceed.
- How much deposit on custom work?
- Enough to cover materials at minimum. Check whether your state caps deposits on home improvement contracts.
- Hourly or fixed price?
- Fixed for defined custom pieces, hourly for repair and trim work where the scope can move. Say which the invoice uses.
