Welding Invoice Template

A welding invoice documents metal fabrication and welding services including shop time, field work, materials, welding rod, gas, and specialty processes like TIG or MIG. Generate professional welder invoices with NetInvoice's free template for fabrication and repair work.

Why this invoice template matters

Welding is specialized skilled labor that requires detailed documentation of processes, materials, and certifications. Clear invoices separate shop fabrication from mobile/field work, show different welding processes used (MIG, TIG, stick), and document material specifications. This helps customers understand why certified welding costs more than basic tack welds and why stainless or aluminum welding commands premium rates. Good invoicing also provides documentation for structural welds that may require inspection.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do welders charge for their services?
Welders charge hourly: $50-$80/hr for basic MIG, $75-$125/hr for TIG or specialty processes. Mobile welding adds $100-$200 trip charge. Rates increase for certified structural welding or exotic metals like titanium.
Should welding invoices specify the welding process used?
Yes, always note MIG, TIG, stick, or specialty processes. Different processes have different costs and quality levels. TIG welding costs more but produces cleaner, stronger welds on thin materials.
How do welders charge for materials versus labor?
Materials are marked up 15-30% over cost and itemized separately. Include base metals, welding rod/wire, gases, and cutting/grinding consumables. This transparency helps customers understand total project costs.
What's the difference between shop and field welding rates?
Field/mobile welding costs 30-50% more due to travel time, equipment transport, and less controlled working conditions. Always show a mobile service fee ($100-$200) plus higher hourly rates for on-site work.
