AIA G702 Application for Payment (G702 Form)
The G702 is the pay app summary page: contract value, change orders, completed & stored to date, retainage, prior payments, and the amount due this period. Here’s how it works — and how to generate an AIA-style version online.
No spreadsheets. No broken formulas. Clean PDFs ready for review.
Need the full AIA billing workflow (not just the form)?
Start here for the end-to-end solution: build your Schedule of Values once, update progress each period, keep G702/G703 totals aligned, and export clean PDFs.
G702 + G703 are a pair
G702 is the summary. The AIA G703 continuation sheet is the line-item detail (SOV) that supports your totals.
What Is the AIA G702 Application for Payment?
The G702 is the summary page of an AIA-style pay application. It rolls up key billing values for the period and to-date — contract sum, approved changes, total completed & stored, retainage, prior payments, current due, and balance to finish. Reviewers rely on this page to verify totals and approve payment.
PayAppPro generates an AIA-style G702 online — matching the structure many reviewers expect — and keeps it aligned with your AIA G703 detail as you bill over time.
What the G702 Summarizes
- Original contract sum + approved change orders
- Total completed & stored to date (from G703)
- Retainage/retention
- Less prior payments = current payment due
- Balance to finish, including retainage
How Payment Due Is Calculated on a G702
The calculation is simple, but it’s easy to mess up when you’re tracking it in a spreadsheet. In most workflows, the “current payment due” is:
Your contract (and your reviewer) may have specific rules around retainage, stored materials, and approved changes. The key is consistency across periods and tying the totals back to your continuation sheet detail.
Where those numbers come from
- Completed + stored: rolls up from your G703 continuation sheet
- Retainage: applied consistently per your project rules
- Prior payments: what’s been approved/paid on previous applications
- Contract & changes: original sum plus approved change orders
Stored Materials on the G702
Stored materials usually appear in the “total completed and stored to date” amount — which rolls up from your G703/SOV detail. Whether you can bill stored materials (and what backup is required) depends on your contract and the reviewer’s process.
Common stored materials “gotchas”
- Billed without backup (invoices, photos, releases)
- Stored values counted twice across periods
- Stored not clearly separated from installed work
- Retainage applied inconsistently

Most Common “Kickback” Reasons (and the fix)
If your pay app is getting rejected, it’s usually not a mystery. It’s one of these.
- G702 doesn’t tie to G703/SOV totals (carryforward + math)
- Change orders not reflected in contract sum / SOV
- Stored materials billed without backup or double-counted
- Retainage inconsistently applied month-to-month
- Prior payments / previous certificates don’t match history
How PayAppPro prevents the mess
- Single source of truth: SOV lives in one place
- Totals roll forward automatically each pay app
- Retainage applied consistently across lines
- G702 summary stays aligned with G703 detail
- Clean, submission-ready PDFs

FAQ: AIA G702
Quick answers to common G702 questions.
The G702 is the pay application summary (cover sheet) used to show contract value, changes, total completed and stored to date, retainage, prior payments, and the current payment due for the billing period.
Most G702 totals come from the continuation sheet (often called a G703) and the Schedule of Values (SOV). The G703 provides the line-by-line detail and the G702 rolls those totals into a project-level summary.
Payment due is typically earned to date minus retainage, then minus previous payments. In other words: (completed and stored to date − retainage) − prior payments.
Yes. Stored materials are usually included in the “total completed and stored to date” amount that rolls up from the G703 detail, assuming the project allows billing stored materials and you provide the required backup.
Common reasons include G702 totals not tying to the G703/SOV detail, change orders not reflected in contract sums, retainage handled inconsistently, stored materials billed without backup, or prior-period totals not carried forward correctly.
