How to read a service invoice

Check units, quantities, taxes and extras on each line.

Labour — työ

Hours may be per person. Two installers for two hours means four person-hours unless the contract uses a crew rate.

Travel — matkakulut

Call-out, mileage and travel time can be separate lines. Check the starting point and possible duplicate charges.

Materials — tarvikkeet

Check item names, quantities and agreed markup. Ask for details of an unexplained lump sum.

Minimum — minimiveloitus

A short job can cost more than time on site when a minimum was agreed. Compare against the quote as well as actual hours.

Ask for clarification

Identify the invoice and disputed line, attach the quote and ask for the calculation: quantity × rate + agreed extras. Keep the correspondence and proposed correction.
