The tax line is left blank on purpose: rates and rules vary by state and locality, and you enter your own rate in the generator.

Why it's laid out like that

The lines follow how the job was actually priced: a flat rate per clean or an hourly rate per cleaner, with add-ons like ovens, windows, carpets or move-out deep cleans billed separately. Each part is separately checkable, which is the whole point — a customer who can verify the bill pays it.

On the day for one-off and move-out cleans, when access still matters to the customer. Monthly in arrears for recurring residential and commercial contracts.

Common questions

Flat rate or hourly?
Flat rate for recurring work the customer understands, hourly for first cleans and unknown properties. Say which you used on the invoice.
How do I handle a customer who cancels at the door?
Charge a stated cancellation fee that appears in your terms. Without the term in writing, it is very hard to collect.
Do commercial clients need anything extra on the invoice?
Usually a PO or contract number and W-9 on file. Ask once at the start and you will be paid on time all year.
