What is an Invoice?

An invoice is a document that is created and sent by a seller or provider of a product or service to their customer. It outlines the cost of the product or service and initiates the customer’s responsibility to pay for them. It also serves as a record of a transaction between a seller and a customer that is crucial for ensuring the financial books and accounts of the seller are complete.

Details to Include in a Work Invoice

The list below are the relevant details that you should include in your work invoice:

1. An invoice number. The invoice number should be present in every invoice you issue and should be unique from other invoices.
2. Your business’s name and contact information.
3. Your customer’s billing information.
4. A description of the services you’ve rendered.  Ensure that these tasks are the ones you’ve agreed to do. Itemize your work by project or by the hour. If any software or licensing fees may have been incurred while doing the service, include it as long as it is necessary.
5. Amount of each service rendered.
6. Tipline if it’s customary to tip in your industry.
7. The total amount due that the customer is obligated to pay.
8. Sales tax line, if applicable.
9. Due date of when the client will receive the work or service you’ve provided (if this is done for several days or weeks).
10. Due date of the payment (so you get paid on time).

FAQs

Most invoices usually include lists of services, quantities, and prices, but sometimes, they can’t tell the whole picture of the whole transaction. Sometimes, it might not be obvious right away that the seller applied discounts on some of the items. If you have some additional information that you’ve input in the invoice, you can add footnotes to clarify it. Conclude your invoice by adding a thank you note that shows your gratitude to your customer for choosing your business. To help you get started making the invoice, download our free sample templates above to use as your guide!
