What Should a Contractor Invoice Include?
A proper contractor invoice needs these elements to look professional and ensure you get paid on time:
- Your business name and contact info — who is billing
- Client name and address — who is being billed
- Invoice number — for tracking and tax records
- Date issued and due date — when payment is expected
- Line items with descriptions — what work was performed
- Rates and quantities — hourly, per-project, or per-unit
- Subtotal, tax, and total — the bottom line
- Payment instructions — how to pay you (bank transfer, PayPal, check, etc.)
ZapInvoice includes all of these fields, pre-formatted and ready to fill in. No fiddling with Word templates or spreadsheets.
