Every figure on this page is computed from the inputs entered, by the method stated below it. Jobcardo publishes no tax rate, no wage figure and no trade standard: the rate, the markup and the tax on the parts line are yours, and the defaults are a worked example to replace with your own figures.
Digital work orders replace the carbon pad and the whiteboard with a record: the same job card, with the customer, the work, the assignee, the price and the status, but raised on a screen, priced from the business's own figures, and kept where the office and the technician both read it. What a digital work order has to do is carry everything the paper one did, add the date on every change the paper one lost, and hand its figures to the invoice without anyone re-typing them. The free work order template on this site is the sheet; Jobcardo Pro is the filing cabinet with a status on every drawer.

The same sheet, on a screen
Customer, site, work to be done, hours, rate, parts, markup, trip charge and tax: the digital work order carries every line the paper one did. The worksheet on this site prices it on the page, and the printed or PDF version is the sheet the technician hands over.
A date on every change
Paper loses the history: when the extra parts were added, when the job was marked done. A digital order in Pro dates each change and keeps who made it, so the record answers the question the carbon copy could not.
Figures that flow to the invoice
The digital order's lines and total are exported, not re-typed, into whatever raises the bill. That is the saving the digital version makes over the pad: one set of figures from the site to the bank.
Digital work orders: common questions
What is a digital work order?
A work order raised, priced and kept on a screen rather than on paper: the same customer, work, assignee, price and status, with a date on every change and the figures exportable to the invoice. It is the job card as a record instead of a sheet in a truck.
Can I still print it?
Yes. Every worksheet on this site prints from the browser or saves as PDF as it stands, with the worked figures on it. In Pro the print carries your business name and logo and no Jobcardo watermark.
Is a digital work order legally different from a paper one?
That is a question for your state and your attorney, and this site does not answer it. What a work order must carry for your trade's licensing, and whether a customer's acceptance of it binds them, is not something Jobcardo decides; it prices and keeps the order you write.
