Guide

Choosing a invoice template

Which design fits your field and experience, and what to put on the page.

What every invoice needs

Your business details, the client's details, a unique invoice number, the issue and due dates, one line per job or product with the amount, the total with any tax, and how to pay you. Add a project or PO number when the client uses one.

Which template should I pick?

Simple for one-off jobs and product sales. Hourly when you bill time at a rate. Freelance for project work with a deposit up front. Contractor for building and repair jobs that bill labor and materials separately.

Word, Excel or PDF?

Send the PDF to clients: it looks the same everywhere and can't be changed by accident. Keep the Word or Excel file to edit: the Excel file recalculates amounts, tax and the balance when you change a line.
