Large jobs rarely get paid in one lump sum. Deposits, milestone payments, and final balances are standard — but only if you track them clearly.
Common partial payment scenarios
- Deposit upfront — 30–50% before work starts
- Milestone billing — pay at defined project stages
- Progress payments — weekly or monthly for long jobs
- Final balance — remainder on completion
How to handle partial payments
- Send a deposit invoice with the upfront amount — use our invoice maker
- Log each payment against the invoice with date and amount
- Check the remaining balance before sending the next invoice
- Mark fully paid when the job is settled
