How should a handyman bill small jobs?

One line per task with a flat price is what most homeowners expect. Put parts on their own line if you bought them for the job, and add a trip or minimum charge as its own line so it is not a surprise.

Can I charge by the hour instead?

Yes — set the quantity to the hours and the price to your hourly rate. The line total works itself out.

Do I need to add sales tax?

It depends on your state and whether you sell parts. Tax is under More details; leave it off if you do not charge it.

Is the invoice maker really free?

Yes — free, with no signup and no locked features. A small line at the foot of the PDF says where it was made.

What do I need to make my first invoice?

Your business name, the customer, what you did and the price. Everything else — your address, phone, logo, due date, tax, payment instructions, notes — is under More details, and it is remembered for next time.
