Flooring Installation Invoice Template (Free)

Short answer

A flooring installation invoice needs material by the square foot, labor by the square foot separated from material, and add-ons like old-floor removal, disposal, and subfloor prep itemized — plus any deposit applied, the job date, and payment terms. Copy the template below, or use invoicing software that handles deposit-and-balance from the quote.

What belongs on the invoice

  • Business name and contact info
  • Customer name and property address
  • Job date
  • Line items — material (sq ft), labor (sq ft), removal/disposal, subfloor prep
  • Deposit received, subtotal, tax, and balance due
  • Payment terms — balance due on completion
  • Payment method(s) accepted

Why deposit-and-balance matters

A deposit covers the material you ordered before you ever started. Showing it applied on the final invoice keeps the math transparent and the balance due unambiguous — no “wait, didn’t I already pay?” at the door.

Skipping the copy-paste

A blank template works, but tracking a deposit against a balance by hand invites errors. Invoicing software carries the deposit from the quote to the final invoice automatically, with a payment link for the balance.

Frequently asked questions

Should material and labor be separate square-footage lines?

Yes. Separating them shows the customer the material spend versus your labor, and protects your margin if flooring prices move between the quote and install.

How do I show a deposit on the invoice?

List the total, then a 'deposit received' line that subtracts from it, leaving the balance due. That way the customer sees exactly what's left to pay.

Should removal and disposal be their own lines?

Yes — tearing out and hauling old flooring is real labor and a dump fee, and folding it into the install price hides work you should be paid for.
