How to make an invoice
Enter your business and client details, list what you're billing for with a description, quantity, and price for each line, then add any tax or discount. The preview updates as you type. When it looks right, click Print / Save PDF and choose “Save as PDF” — only the invoice prints, not the controls or ads.
Frequently asked questions
What every invoice needs
| Field | Required? | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| The word “Invoice” | Yes | Distinguishes it from a quote or receipt — and it must be unambiguous to be payable |
| Unique invoice number | Yes | How you and your client reference the document; sequential numbering matters at audit |
| Issue date | Yes | Starts the payment clock and fixes the tax period |
| Your name & address | Yes | Identifies who is owed the money |
| Client name & address | Yes | Identifies who owes it; needed for their own records |
| Description of work | Yes | Vague line items are the most common cause of disputed invoices |
| Quantity, rate, line total | Yes | Shows how the total was reached |
| Subtotal, tax, total due | Yes | Tax must be shown separately, not folded into the total |
| Payment terms (e.g. Net 30) | Strongly advised | Without a stated due date, “late” is unenforceable |
| Payment details | Strongly advised | The single biggest cause of slow payment is not saying how to pay |
| Tax / business ID | If registered | Required once you are registered for sales tax or VAT |
| Purchase-order number | If the client uses them | Larger clients will not pay an invoice that lacks their PO |
Requirements vary by country and by whether you are registered for sales tax or VAT — if you charge tax, check your local rules, because a non-compliant invoice can be rejected for reclaim. The practical advice everywhere is the same: a unique number, a clear description, and explicit terms are what get invoices paid on time.
Is this invoice generator really free?+
Yes — it's completely free with no signup, no watermark, and no limit on how many invoices you create. Everything runs in your browser: you fill in the details, and you can print or save the invoice as a PDF instantly. We never see or store your invoice data.
How do I make an invoice?+
Add your business name and your client's details, list what you're billing for (description, quantity, and price for each line), and set any tax or discount. The invoice preview updates live as you type. When it looks right, click Print / Save PDF to download it or send it to your client.
How do I save the invoice as a PDF?+
Click the Print / Save PDF button. In the print dialog that opens, choose "Save as PDF" as the destination (available in Chrome, Edge, Safari, and Firefox) and save the file. Only the invoice itself prints — the calculator controls and ads are hidden from the PDF.
Does my invoice data get stored anywhere?+
No. The invoice is built entirely in your browser and is never uploaded to a server. Your current draft is saved locally on your own device (in your browser) so you don't lose it if you refresh — but it stays on your machine and isn't sent to us or anyone else.
What should an invoice include?+
A professional invoice includes your business name and contact info, your client's details, a unique invoice number, the issue date and due date, an itemized list of goods or services with amounts, the subtotal, any tax, and the total due. Adding your payment terms and accepted payment methods helps you get paid faster.
Can I use this for freelance or contractor invoices?+
Absolutely. The generator works for any profession — freelancers, contractors, consultants, photographers, and small businesses. We also offer tailored templates with profession-specific wording; pick the one that fits and the invoice is pre-set for your line of work.
