Common questions

What should an electrician’s invoice include?
Your business and license number, the job address, work done, labor, materials, permit fees, the total, the due date and how to pay.
Can I bill permit fees to the customer?
Yes, if that’s what you agreed. Say so in your estimate, and show them as a separate line.
Should I mark up materials?
Many electricians do, to cover buying, handling and warranty risk. The markup calculator shows what your markup earns.
How do I invoice a large job?
Bill by stage, such as rough-in and finish, as your contract says.
