Lawn care invoice template

This raises a lawn care invoice in the order the customer reads it. Cuts this period at the price per cut, the extras such as fertilizing or a cleanup on their own line, any discount, sales tax on the subtotal where your state charges it on lawn services, the invoice total, and what was already paid taken off to give the balance due, last and largest. The cuts are on the page so the customer can count them against the calendar. Free, on the page, no account; the paid plan saves it against the customer and sends it under your own name.

Cuts times the price per cut, both on the page

The mowing line is the number of cuts this period at the agreed price per cut, and both numbers are shown, because the line every customer argues with is the one they cannot check against their own calendar. A long month has five cuts and a short one has four, and an invoice that shows the count answers the question before it is asked.

Extras on their own line, discount before tax

Fertilizing, aeration and a cleanup are not mowing and are priced as their own line. A discount comes off the subtotal before any tax, so the tax is on what was actually charged. Sales tax on lawn services varies by state, from nothing to the full amount, so the rate is yours to enter and the default is zero.

What was paid comes off last, and the balance ends the page

An invoice that shows a total and mentions a prepayment somewhere above gets paid in the wrong amount. What was already paid is the last deduction and the balance due is the last line, because the last number on the page is the one the customer pays. Under it go your payment terms and how to pay, and nothing else.
