Payment due within 15 days. Licensed and insured — your business license and, where your state caps unlicensed work by job value, a note that the work falls inside that limit.

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 minimum visit charge, hourly labor, and materials at cost or with a stated markup — often several unrelated tasks in one visit. Each part is separately checkable, which is the whole point — a customer who can verify the bill pays it.

Same day, before you drive off where you can. Handyman work is small-ticket and gets paid on the spot far more often than it gets paid later.

Common questions

Is there a job size I need a contractor license for?
Many states set a dollar threshold above which a contractor license is required. Check your own state's limit and stay inside it, or get licensed.
Should I charge for picking up materials?
Yes, if you do it for the job — bill it as time at your rate and say so in your terms up front.
How do I price several small tasks in one visit?
One minimum visit charge, then time for the rest, with each task listed. The customer sees value; you do not undercharge.
