Fill in your details and your client's, add line items, and the invoice totals itself — subtotal, discount, tax and amount due — then downloads as a PDF you can email or print. Nothing is sent to us and there is no account to create.

What an invoice should include

Your business name and contact details, the client's name and address, a unique invoice number, the invoice date and the due date, a clear description of each item or service with quantity and price, any tax shown separately, the total due, and how to pay.

Invoice numbers should run in sequence without gaps or repeats, which makes them easy to match to payments and keeps your records clean for tax time.

Payment terms that get you paid

State the due date as a date, not only as "Net 30" — a date is harder to misread. Put your payment options on the invoice itself. If you charge late fees, they need to be agreed in advance, usually in your contract or quote, and must follow any limits in your state.

Send invoices as soon as the work or milestone is done. Invoicing late is the most common reason small businesses are paid late.

Agree the price before the work with a fixed-price quote, keep a dated price list so every invoice uses the same rates, and when a customer pays in person hand them a numbered cash receipt as proof.

Frequently asked questions

Is this invoice generator really free?

Yes. It runs in your browser, with no account and no watermark on the PDF.

Do I need to charge sales tax on my invoice?

It depends on what you sell and where. Services are taxed differently from goods, and rules vary by state. Check with your state's revenue department or an accountant.

What is the difference between an invoice and a receipt?

An invoice asks for payment; a receipt confirms payment has been made. Many businesses send both — the invoice first, then a receipt once paid.
