This is the same clean layout as our freelance invoice template, pre-filled with the lines contractors bill for. Not sure what belongs on an invoice? Read what to put on an invoice.

How should contractors structure progress billing?

Split larger jobs into a deposit, one or more progress payments tied to milestones, and a final balance on completion. Each stage is its own invoice, so you're never far out of pocket.

How do contractors get paid faster?

Send the invoice the day you finish, include a one-tap payment link, and state clear terms with a late fee. GigPaper adds all three automatically and chases overdue invoices for you, so you are not the one following up.

Send your invoice in 30 seconds.

GigPaper builds the invoice, adds your payment link and terms, and sends it as a tap-to-pay link your client never makes an account for. 30 days free, no card.
