Proof that a balance is fully paid
A paid in full receipt closes out a job, a loan or an installment plan. Unlike an ordinary payment receipt, it shows the whole account: the original amount, any change orders, each earlier payment, the final payment and a balance of $0.00, followed by a statement that nothing more is owed and the payee's signature. Contractors use it at the end of a project, private lenders when a loan is repaid, and sellers when the last installment comes in.

FAQs
What should a final payment receipt include?
The payee and payer, the date, the invoice or contract number, the amount and method of the final payment, the original amount and earlier payments, a balance of $0.00, a statement that the account is paid in full, and the payee's signature.
Is a paid in full receipt a lien waiver?
No. In construction, many states require their own statutory final-payment lien waiver forms, such as California's Unconditional Waiver and Release on Final Payment. For a financed vehicle, the lender releases the title separately.
What is the difference between paid in full and settled in full?
Paid in full means the entire original balance was paid. Settled in full means the creditor accepted less than the full amount. Use this receipt only when the whole balance was paid.
Should both parties sign?
The payee should always sign. Adding the payer's signature is optional but gives both sides a matching record.
Are the example details real?
No. The business, customers, contract and payment numbers are fictional.
