Deposits and progress billing that add up
Take 30% to start, 40% at the milestone and the rest on delivery. Hectile tracks how much of each estimate you’ve invoiced, keeps every line at the same share with its own tax, and makes sure the invoices add up to the estimate to the last paisa.

What you can do with it
Any share
A deposit or part by percentage, then the remaining amount.
Visible progress
Partly Invoiced, then Converted at 100%.
Deposit on acceptance
Ask for one on the estimate; its invoice is drafted when the customer accepts.
Never over 100%
The server checks every share with the estimate locked.
Four steps, no training needed
Set a deposit on the estimate
A percentage or fixed amount due on acceptance.
The customer accepts
The deposit invoice is drafted for your review.
Bill the milestones
Create Invoice → a part, at the share you choose.
Finish with the remaining amount
Rounding is absorbed so the total matches exactly.
Every line, at the same share
A 30% invoice keeps every estimate line as one unit at 30% of its amount after its own discount, each with its tax profile — so your tax reporting is right on every part. Cancelling a part invoice gives its share back.

Questions about Deposits & part invoices
Can I change the share after the first invoice?
Yes. Each invoice takes its own share; the remaining amount is offered once something is invoiced.
What happens if I cancel a part invoice?
Its share returns to the estimate. A Converted estimate becomes Accepted again.
Do part invoices work with estimate options?
Yes — they use the lines and total the customer accepted.
Is the deposit invoice sent automatically?
No. It’s drafted for your team to check, finalize and send.
