About this invoice template

When to use the Simple design

Black and grey with one accent line: everything a client needs to pay, nothing else.

Most invoices don't need a design, they need to be clear. This template puts your business at the top left and the invoice number, dates and terms at the top right, where an accounts team looks first. The client and project sit below, then one line per job or product, then the totals and the balance due on the right with your payment details beside them. It works for one-off jobs, small product sales and anything billed at a fixed price.

What's on it

  • Your business name and contact details
  • Invoice number, issue date, due date and terms
  • Bill to, with a contact person
  • Project or PO reference
  • Numbered lines with quantity, price and amount
  • Subtotal, tax and balance due
  • Payment details and a note

Best for

Small businesses billing a fixed price

Also good for

One-off jobs and product sales

And for

Anyone who wants a plain, professional invoice

Tips

Tips for the Simple invoice

Small changes that make this design work harder for you.

  • Number invoices in order and never reuse a number. New invoice in the generator raises it by one for you.

  • Put the client's contact in Bill to, like "Attn: Accounts payable", so it reaches the right inbox.

  • Write lines the client will recognise: the project name from their purchase order beats a generic "Services".

  • If you charge sales tax, put the rate in once; the template works out the amount on every invoice.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers about the Simple invoice template.

What should a simple invoice include?
Your business details, the client's details, an invoice number, the issue and due dates, the lines with amounts, the total and how to pay. This template has all of them.
Can I add my logo?
Yes. In the Invoice Generator add a PNG or JPG logo and it appears at the top of the PDF. In Word, insert it above your business name.
Is there an Excel version?
Yes. The Excel file has formulas, so the amounts and the balance due update when you change a quantity or price.
