Featherwork InvoicingTemplates & examples
Free Invoice Templates by Industry
An invoice template only really works when it fits how your trade actually bills — a consultant charging by the hour and a caterer billing a flat event rate need different layouts, even though the underlying structure (who, what, how much, by when) is the same. Below are ready-to-use invoice templates broken out by industry, so you can start from something built for your kind of work.
Contractor invoice template
Contractor invoices typically separate labor from materials, and often reference a job or project name rather than just a client name (useful when you're running multiple jobs for the same client over time).

Job: Kitchen remodel — Phase 2
| Description | Amount |
|---|---|
| Labor — framing (16 hrs @ $65/hr) | $1,040.00 |
| Materials — lumber, hardware | $612.00 |
| Permit fee | $150.00 |
Include the job address if it's different from the billing address — useful for multi-property clients.
Consultant invoice template
Consulting invoices are usually simpler line-item-wise (often just hours × rate) but benefit from a brief description of what the hours covered, since clients — especially ones paying from a company budget — often need to justify the expense internally.

Re: Q3 marketing strategy engagement
| Description | Amount |
|---|---|
| Strategy sessions (4 hrs @ $150/hr) | $600.00 |
| Deliverable: campaign brief document | $250.00 |
Cleaning service invoice template
Cleaning invoices are often recurring, so a clear service date and frequency note helps both sides track a running relationship rather than treating every visit as a one-off.

| Description | Amount |

Catering invoice template
Catering invoices typically bill per-head or per-event, with add-ons itemized separately — useful for clients who want to see exactly what drove the total.

Freelance / creative invoice template
Freelance and creative work (design, writing, photography) often bills per-project rather than per-hour, and benefits from referencing the specific deliverable so there's no ambiguity about what was paid for.
