In LockCommand the invoice starts from the job with your tax rate, goes out by text with a pay link, and is marked paid when the money lands in your own account.
Invoice from the job in LockCommandHow to use it
Fill in the boxes on the left and the invoice on the right updates as you type. It opens with an example job so you can see how it works. Press Clear the example to start from an empty invoice.
1. Your shop
Put in your shop name, phone, email and address. Add your license number if you have one; some states require it on paperwork and ads (see license rules by state). Your logo is optional and stays in your browser. Black or dark logos print best on an office printer.
2. The lines
Each line has a type, so the customer sees what they paid for:
- Service for the job itself, like a house lockout or a rekey.
- Part or hardware for anything you sell, like a deadbolt or a key blank. Parts start as taxable.
- Labor for time, with hours as the quantity. 1.5 hours at $90 is $135.
- Trip fee and after-hours surcharge on their own lines, so nobody is surprised.
- Discount for money off. Type it as a positive number; the tool subtracts it.
3. Tax and payment
Enter your sales tax rate and tick Taxable on the lines your state taxes. Tax is worked out once on the taxable total and rounded to the nearest cent. Set the payment status: Paid in full stamps the invoice PAID, and Part paid shows the deposit and the balance due.
Worked example
The example invoice adds up like this:
| Line | Amount |
|---|---|
| Lockout $95, labor $45, trip $35, after-hours $50 | $225.00 |
| Deadbolt (taxable) | $42.00 |
| Subtotal | $267.00 |
| Discount | -$10.00 |
| Taxed amount: $42.00 less its share of the discount ($1.57) | $40.43 |
| Sales tax at 8.25% | $3.34 |
| Total | $260.34 |
The deadbolt is 42/267 of the bill, so it gets that share of the $10 discount. That keeps you from charging tax on money you took off. Your state may want discounts handled another way, so check if you give large ones.
Sales tax: check your state
Forty-five states have a statewide sales tax, and cities and counties add their own on top, so the right rate depends on where the job is (Tax Foundation, 2026 rates). Whether labor and service calls are taxed also differs by state. Your state revenue department has the answer; the Federation of Tax Administrators keeps a list of state tax agencies. This tool doesn't give tax advice.
Keep a copy
The IRS lists invoices among the records that back up your income (what records to keep), and says to keep most records for at least three years (how long to keep them). Save each invoice as a PDF in one folder, named by invoice number. Nothing is saved here, so do it before you close the tab.
