# Progress invoicing

> Bill an estimate in stages — by percentage, by amount, or line by line — with the remainder tracked for you.

Long jobs are rarely billed once. Progress invoicing bills an accepted estimate in stages.

**Three ways to choose the amount:**
- **A percentage of the whole estimate** — 30% now, 40% at rough-in, 30% at completion.
- **A percentage per line** — useful when trades finish at different times.
- **A specific amount per line.**

Each progress invoice records how much of every line has now been billed, so the next one starts from the correct remaining balance and you cannot over-bill a line by accident.

**Contractors:** the construction edition layers AIA G702/G703 pay applications and retainage on top of this. See [Industry editions](https://intubu.intuitivecapital-dai.com/docs/industry-editions).
