Invoice Generator
An invoice is the document you send a client to request payment for work delivered. This generator builds one from a short form — your details, the client's, the line items — and produces a clean PDF you can email straight away. Totals, tax and discounts are calculated as you type, and nothing you enter leaves your browser.
Runs entirely in your browser — client details and amounts are never uploaded.

How to use the Invoice Generator
- 1
Add your details
Enter your business name and address, then the client's. Save your own details once and they are filled in next time.

Add a line for each item with a quantity and rate. Amounts and the subtotal update as you type.
- 3
Set tax and terms
Add a tax rate, a discount if any, and payment terms in the notes. The preview shows exactly what the client receives.
- 4
Download the PDF
Download it as a PDF or print it. The file is named after the invoice number and client.

Freelance project
- Input
- 3 line items totalling 5,860, 5% discount, 20% VAT
- Output
- Discount 293.00 · VAT 1,113.40 · total 6,680.40
The discount is applied before tax, so tax is charged on what the client actually pays — which is what most tax authorities require.
Hourly work
- Input
- 24 hours at 85.00 per hour
- Output
- Line amount 2,040.00
Quantity multiplied by rate. Use hours as the quantity for time-based work and units for products.
No tax registered
- Input
- Tax rate left blank
- Output
- Totals show subtotal and total only
Zero-value rows are hidden, so a sole trader below the VAT threshold gets a clean invoice with no empty tax line.
Why use it
What the Invoice Generator gives you
Totals you can trust
Amounts are rounded to cents at each step, so the line items always add up to the total shown — no drifting final figure.
Handles long descriptions
Text wraps within its column and a second page starts when one fills, so detailed line items do not overlap the price column.
See it before you send it
A live preview shows the finished document as you type, so there is no download-check-fix loop.
Your details remembered
Save your business name, address and tax rate once and they are filled in on every later invoice, stored only in your browser.
Nothing is uploaded
Invoices carry client names, addresses and amounts. All of it stays on your device.
Good to know
Invoice Generator limitations
- This creates and downloads invoices; it does not track whether they have been paid or send reminders.
- The PDF uses a standard Latin font. Text in Cyrillic, Greek, Arabic, Hebrew or CJK scripts cannot be rendered and is dropped.
- The rupee symbol has no glyph in the PDF font, so INR amounts print as the ISO code instead. On-screen they show as ₹.
- Tax is a single percentage applied to the whole document. Per-line or compound tax rates are not supported.
- An invoice generated here is not legal or tax advice. Check what your jurisdiction requires on an invoice.
Summary
Invoice Generator in short
- An invoice requests payment and should carry a unique number, both parties' details, the work, and the amount due.
- Discount is applied before tax, so tax is charged on the discounted amount.
- Everything runs in your browser — client details and amounts are never uploaded.
- Save your business details once and they are reused on every later invoice.
FAQ
Invoice Generator questions
What has to be on an invoice?
At minimum: a unique invoice number, the issue date, your business name and address, the client's details, a description of what is being charged, the amount due, and payment terms. If you are registered for sales tax or VAT you must also show your registration number and the tax charged.
How should I number my invoices?
Sequentially, with no gaps — most tax authorities require it. A date-based prefix such as INV-20260803-1 works well because it sorts correctly and makes duplicates obvious.
Is tax calculated before or after the discount?
After. Tax is owed on the amount the customer actually pays, so the discount comes off the subtotal first and tax applies to what remains. This tool does it in that order.
Is it really free?
Yes. No account, no watermark on the PDF, and no limit on how many invoices you create. There is no paid tier.
Can I add my logo?
Not in this version — the PDF is text-only. If you need a logo, download the PDF and add it in a PDF editor, or print to PDF from the browser preview where you can apply your own styling.
Where is my data stored?
In your browser only. The invoice is built and the PDF generated locally, so client names and amounts are never sent anywhere. Your business details are saved to local storage only if you choose to save them.
Which currencies are supported?
Twelve, including USD, EUR, GBP, INR, JPY and AUD. Amounts are formatted using each currency's own conventions for grouping and decimals.
How is this different from invoicing software?
Invoicing software tracks payment status, sends reminders and syncs to your accounts. This creates the document. It suits occasional invoicing; if you bill regularly, dedicated software will save you more time.
Can I edit an invoice after downloading it?
Not the PDF itself. Keep the tab open and re-download after making changes, or re-enter the details. For a small correction, the Edit PDF tool can change text in the downloaded file.
