About this example

This example is an invoice from a commercial electrical contractor to a property management company, sent once a garage lighting retrofit and six EV chargers are installed and inspected. It bills the job the way most trades do: labor by the hour, materials at a unit price, and pass-through costs such as the permit and the equipment rental on lines of their own.

The first page answers the questions a customer's accounts payable team asks before approving a bill: who sent it, who it is billed to, which job and purchase order it belongs to, the payment terms and the due date. Each labor line shows the dates and the crew, so the hours can be checked against the site log, and the overtime premium explains why the work ran on a Saturday. The totals show the subtotal, the sales tax and the amount due, and the last page says how to pay, what a late payment costs and which license the contractor works under.

Who it is for

Electricians, HVAC and plumbing contractors and other trades who bill commercial customers for labor hours, materials and permits after a job is done.
