Why Use Our Invoice Generator?

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I include on an invoice?
At minimum: your business name and contact details, the client's name, a unique invoice number, the issue date and payment due date, an itemized list of goods or services with quantities and rates, the subtotal, any tax, and the total due. Payment terms (like 'Net 30') go in the notes.
How should I number my invoices?
Use a simple sequential system like INV-2026-0001, INV-2026-0002, and never reuse or skip numbers — gaps look suspicious to accountants and tax authorities. The generator suggests a number automatically; edit it to match your sequence.
Should I charge tax on my invoice?
It depends on where you and your client are and what you're selling — sales tax, VAT, and GST rules vary widely. If you're unsure, check your local tax authority or ask an accountant. The tool applies whatever rate you enter to the discounted subtotal.
How do I send the invoice to my client?
Click 'Print / Save as PDF' and choose 'Save as PDF' in the print dialog, then email the PDF — that's the professional standard. Or use 'Download Invoice (HTML)' to keep an editable copy for your records.
What payment terms should I use?
Net 30 (payment due 30 days after the invoice date) is the most common for freelancers and small businesses. Shorter terms like Net 14 or 'due on receipt' are fine for small jobs — put the terms in the notes field so there's no confusion.
Is my business information stored anywhere?
No. Everything you type stays in your browser's memory — we have no servers receiving it, no accounts, and no analytics on the invoice contents. Close the tab and it's gone.
