About the Invoice Payment Schedule Generator
A project billed in one invoice at the end is a project funded out of your own working capital. A stage payment schedule moves that risk, and the schedule itself is what turns a vague agreement about paying as you go into something either side can check.
This builds one. Name the stages, set each as a percentage or an amount, give each a trigger — a date, a deliverable, an acceptance — and it produces the schedule with the running total, the balance remaining and the cash flow over time.
It also checks the shape. A schedule that is back-loaded leaves you funding most of the work, and one that takes everything up front is rarely accepted. The calculator shows what proportion arrives in each third of the project, which is the quickest way to see whether a schedule is actually protecting you or just looks like it does.

Frequently asked questions
For a small project, 50% on signature and 50% on completion. For a larger one, a 25 to 33% deposit with two or three milestones and a final balance. Construction uses monthly valuations with retention instead.
Something objectively checkable: a date, a named deliverable, or the client’s acceptance of one. "Stage two" is not a trigger, because nobody can prove when it happened.
Not too large. A final payment of more than about a third gives the client a lot of leverage at exactly the moment your work is finished and theirs is not. Ten to 25% is the usual balance.
Yes, each with its own number and its own tax point. The final invoice should show the full price with the earlier payments deducted, so the whole project reconciles on one document.
