- Discounts (if any)
- Total amount due
- Due date / Net terms
- Accepted payment methods
- Any late fee policy (only if enforced)

Common Mistakes With Blank Invoices
Blank invoices are flexible, but that also means it’s easy to leave out important details.
Avoid these issues- Vague descriptions (“services rendered” with no context)
- Missing payment terms (clients don’t know when it’s due)
- No reference/job number for business clients
- Not separating labor and materials (harder to approve)
- Not labeling tax correctly (Sales Tax vs VAT/GST)
- Forgetting payment instructions (how the client should pay)
