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.
Lawn care invoice template: common questions
Is this a free lawn care invoice template? Yes. Enter the cuts, the price per cut, the extras, any discount, the tax rate and what was already paid, and it raises the invoice on the page with the balance due, no account and no card. Print it as it stands. MowRouteWorks Pro adds your business name, logo and license number, a PDF without our line, and saving it against the customer.
Should I bill per cut or a flat monthly fee? Bill per cut and show the count either way: a flat fee that does not say how many cuts it covered is the invoice the customer questions in a five-cut month. If you prefer a flat monthly figure, enter the cuts and the per-cut price that make it up so the customer sees what the fee bought.
Can I use this for a season prepaid up front? Yes. Enter the cuts and the price per cut for the period and the season's prepayment in the paid field; the balance due falls to zero or shows what is still owed. A prepaid season still gets an invoice per period, so the customer sees the cuts being used up.
