Electrical Invoice Template

For each job, open the Invoice sheet and fill in the customer and project details at the top: billing address, job site address, permit number, and work authorization reference. Work through the labor section first — enter each task or phase with a description, the labor category, hours, and rate. Then list materials line by line with part numbers, quantities, and unit costs; the markup percentage applies automatically. Add any permit or inspection fees in the dedicated line below the materials section. When you're satisfied, print or export to PDF and send to the customer.

The labor and materials split matters more in electrical work than in most trades because both sides of the bill require different treatment. Labor — especially when billed at different rates for masters, journeymen, and apprentices — needs to be clearly itemized for customers to verify they're being charged correctly, and for larger commercial jobs, the general contractor's accounting team may require it for their own job costing. Materials need part numbers and quantities because electricians frequently warrant their parts separately from labor, and a dispute about a failed breaker or a wiring defect is much easier to resolve when there's a clear record of exactly what was installed. The standard practice is to mark up materials 20–35% over cost; tracking that markup in the invoice keeps your billing consistent and your margins visible.
