What the deposit receipt covers
| Field | What goes in it |
|---|---|
| Deposit amount | Exactly how much was received and when |
| Total job value | The full price, so the deposit reads as a fraction of something |
| Balance due | What remains and when it is due |
| Deposit terms | Refundable or non-refundable — stated plainly |

Deposit receipt tips
- Write the refund policy on the receipt itself ('non-refundable after materials are ordered'). Verbal deposit terms evaporate; written ones hold.
- Show the math: deposit + balance = total. Clients accept non-refundable deposits they can see are proportional.
- Date the balance due date, not just the deposit date. A deposit receipt without a due date is an open-ended promise.
