Choose an Invoice Template That Fits Your Business

Different businesses need different invoice layouts. A freelancer billing a single project has different needs than a contractor itemising labour and materials, or a consultant billing a monthly retainer.

The templates above give you a starting point for each of these cases, with the right fields already in place. You can still customize any of them once you're in the invoice generator.

What Should a Professional Invoice Include?

Most professional invoices share the same core fields, regardless of industry:

  • Your business name and contact details
  • Client name and contact details
  • A unique invoice number
  • Invoice date and payment due date
  • A description of products or services
  • Quantity or hours worked, and the rate
  • Subtotal
  • Tax, where applicable
  • Discounts, where relevant
  • Total amount due
  • Payment terms and payment instructions

Exact invoice requirements can vary by country, business type and tax status. MakeInvo provides invoice-creation software, not legal, tax or accounting advice.
