How to use the invoice generator

1. Add your business details. Type your business name, address and contact details, and upload your logo if you have one. Your details are saved on your own device, so you only do this once.
2. Add your client and the dates. Enter the client's name and address, check the invoice number, and set the issue date and due date. The due date is set 30 days ahead as standard, but you can change it.
3. Add your items. Describe the work or goods, the quantity and the price. Use the "Add item" button for more lines, and apply a discount percentage if you are offering one.
4. Check the VAT. Choose the right VAT rate for each item: 20%, 5%, 0% or No VAT. The totals and the VAT breakdown update as you type in the live preview.
5. Download your invoice. When everything looks right, click "Download PDF / Print" and save the invoice as a PDF, ready to email to your client.

What must a UK invoice include?

An invoice is a formal request for payment, and UK businesses are expected to include certain information so the customer knows exactly who is charging them, for what, and by when. As a minimum, a UK invoice should show:

• Your business name and address.
• A unique invoice number that follows on from your last invoice.
• The invoice date.
• Your customer's name and address.
• A clear description of the goods or services you are charging for.
• The quantities and prices for each item.
• A VAT breakdown, and your VAT registration number, if your business is VAT-registered.
• The total amount owed.
• Your payment terms and the date payment is due.

This generator covers all of the above. If your business is not VAT-registered, simply leave the VAT number field blank and set each item's rate to "No VAT" or 0%.

Why use an online invoice generator?

It is fast. A finished invoice takes a few minutes, with no blank documents to format and no formulas to fix in a spreadsheet.

There is nothing to install or pay for. The tool runs in your browser, so it works on a phone, tablet or computer, and your figures never leave your device.

Your numbering stays consistent. The "New invoice" button moves you on to the next invoice number automatically, which helps you keep a clean, sequential record.

It looks professional. A clear, well laid out invoice with your logo and full payment details makes it easy for clients to pay you, and makes your business look established.

Frequently asked questions

Is the invoice generator really free?

Yes. There is no charge, no account and no limit on the number of invoices you can create. Fill in the form, download your PDF and send it to your client.

Do I need to be VAT-registered to use it?

No. The VAT fields are optional. If your business is VAT-registered, add your VAT number and choose the correct rate for each item. If you are not registered, leave the VAT number blank and set the items to "No VAT".

Is my data stored anywhere?

No. Everything happens in your own browser and nothing is sent to or stored on our servers. Your business details are saved only on your own device, so the form is ready-filled next time you visit; client details are not saved at all.

Can I add my own logo?

Yes. Use the logo upload in the form and your logo appears at the top of the invoice preview straight away, and on the downloaded PDF.

Can I invoice in a different currency?

Yes. The currency selector covers every world currency, and every price, total and the downloaded PDF updates to match the currency you choose. Your choice is remembered on your device for next time. Currencies that do not use pence or cents, such as the Japanese yen or the South Korean won, are formatted without decimal places automatically, and the Kuwaiti and Bahraini dinars are shown to three decimal places, as they should be.
