Free Bill Templates

Free Service Invoice Templates Designed in MS Word and Excel
Do you have a small business that provides professional or nonprofessional services? If so, a service bill template may be the simplest and most efficient way to invoice your clients. This is especially true if you send out a limited number of billing statements each month.
Service invoice templates are particularly useful for businesses who need to send itemized invoices and those who provide specialized services to their customers. Some examples include:
  • Consulting
  • Freelance Workers
  • Legal Services
  • Medical Services
  • CPA/Accounting
  • Construction/Handyman
  • Landscaping and Gardening
  • Babysitting
  • Child Care
  • Catering
  • Pet Care
  • Massage Therapy
  • Auto Repair
For service-oriented businesses like these, it might not make sense to spend the time and money that is often necessary to learn a complex invoicing software program. Oftentimes, it is more efficient to use a simple bill template as a document foundation.
The bill templates available on this page are created specifically for service billing. If you have a business that sells tangible, physical products, you may find a Sales Invoice or a Sales and Service Invoice more suitable.

Service Bill Template Format

The following information should be included within a basic service invoice template:Company Details: Start with your name (or the name of your company), billing address, phone number, fax number, and email address toward the top of the page. You may also want to insert your company logo above this information if you have one.Invoice Number and Date: Adjacent to the company details, you may choose to include a unique invoice number and billing date. The numbering system you use for your invoices is up to you. You can start at 0001, or if you want to appear like you’ve been in business for a while, you may choose to start with a larger number like 36245.Bill To: This section goes below the company details and typically includes the name, address, phone number and email address of the customer. You may also want to create a unique customer account or identification number. This is a particularly useful idea for businesses that frequently create itemized invoices for repeat customers.Itemized Billing Box: The most important part of the service invoice template is the chart-like table or box in the center. Within this box, you can itemize your services in a way that is easy for customers to understand what they are being billed for. The itemized invoice box may include information like:
  • A description of the service(s) provided
  • A breakdown of charges
  • The number of hours worked
  • The rate per hour/service
These details are laid out in row-and-column format. Toward the bottom of the table, the row-by-row charges are summed up and entered as a subtotal. Any applicable taxes are calculated by multiplying the subtotal by the tax rate. The tax amount is entered and added to the subtotal to arrive at a grand total, which appears on the last line of the table.Comments or Special Instructions: Use this section to include any important information that does not fit in other areas of your itemized invoice. Examples may include due date, explanation of extra charges, payment terms, available method(s) of payment, who to make checks payable to, etc. If you provided highly specialized services that require more details than you have room for in the itemized billing box, you may use this section to expand on what is already listed there. To ensure your service invoice builds/maintains the trust and confidence of your clients, follow these simple rules:
  1. Present the information on the bill template as clearly as possible;
  2. Double-check the accuracy of your base values after entry;
  3. Ensure that the formulae within the service invoice template are correct (for Excel-formatted templates only).
When your free invoice is complete, you can easily insert a mail merge field into your Word or Excel document, (depending on which bill template you are using) and mail it to your customer. If you are emailing your service invoice, the best way to accomplish this is by converting the document to PDF format.

Free Service Invoice Templates

An itemized invoice for specialized services can get pretty complicated, especially when you provide several types of service that you perform at different hourly rates, or some that are only partially billed. If you have international customers, you may also need to convert the invoice to the appropriate currency so the customer knows exactly how much to pay. If you utilize a free invoice template, you can select the format that works best for your type of business, thus simplifying the process of creating complex itemized invoices. This saves you time and helps ensure the accuracy of the bill, which in turn builds or maintains client trust. Blank invoice templates vary in layout and presentation, but there are several essential formatting elements that are uniform across the board. Below, you will find free invoice templates that include elements such as:
  • Hourly billing;
  • Labor only or with both parts and labor;
  • With or without taxes;
  • With the same tax for both parts and labor, or with a different tax;
  • With or without additional charges.
We have customer invoice templates for both Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel. If you do not use Microsoft Office, you can easily open these templates using either OpenOffice or Mac iWork. For billing templates created in Word, you will need to manually enter the line items and calculate the totals yourself. If you have a simple billing system, a Word template is probably all you need to get well-crafted invoices out to your customers. If your billing is more complex, you may need to use a “smart” bill template, like the ones created in Excel format. A smart template reduces your work and helps ensure greater accuracy by allowing you to enter just the base values (e.g. hours and rate) while automatically calculating the derived values, such as the subtotal, tax amount and grand total. This is accomplished by pre-populating the derived value cells with invisible arithmetic formulae that display the calculated value of the cells. See the small icon in the template description section to determine the format of each service invoice template.

In some cases, however, the freelance invoice template may be needed to provide more in-depth descriptions of itemized services and/or to list multiple services charged at different rates. For example, copywriters often bill on a per word rather than hourly basis. In addition, a copywriter may charge one rate for writing, and a different rate for editing.
