Create a blank invoiceWhat to include on a free invoice template
A professional invoice needs specific information to be legally valid and to get you paid on time. Here's what every invoice should contain.
Business name & contact details
Your full legal business name, address, phone number, and email address. If you're VAT registered, include your VAT number.
Client name & billing address
The full name (or business name) of who you're billing, plus their billing address. For businesses, check who the invoice should be addressed to.
Unique invoice number
A sequential invoice number for your records and theirs. A common format is INV-2024-001. Never reuse invoice numbers.
Invoice date & due date
The date the invoice was issued and when payment is due. Net 30 (30 days from invoice date) is standard for most B2B invoices.
Itemized line items
A clear list of each product or service provided, with quantity, unit price, and line total. Itemized invoices get paid faster and reduce disputes.
Tax & total
Subtotal, any applicable tax (VAT, GST, sales tax), and the total amount due. Show the currency clearly, especially for international clients.
Payment instructions
How you accept payment — bank transfer, PayPal, check, card. Include your bank details or payment link directly on the invoice.
Notes & payment terms
Any late payment fees, project-specific terms, or a simple thank-you. A clear late fee policy (e.g. 1.5% per month) encourages on-time payment.
