Simple Invoice Template
A simple invoice template keeps just the essentials: who you are, who you're billing, what you did, what it costs and when it's due. It's a calm place to start if this is your first invoice, a side job or a one-off project.
Free to download. No sign-up, no email required.
Only what your client needs to pay you.
The six things a simple invoice needs
Your name and how to reach you
Your name or business name, with an email or phone number. Add your address if your client needs it for their records.
Your client's name
The person or company paying you, with an address if they're a business.
An invoice number
Start a sequence, such as INV-0001, and keep it going. It's how you both refer to this invoice later.
The date and due date
When you issued the invoice, and the day you expect to be paid.
What you did and the price
A line or two describing the work, with a quantity and rate if that makes the price clearer.
The total and how to pay
One clear amount, and the way you'd like to be paid, such as bank transfer or check.

Tips for people sending their first invoice.
Reuse your first invoice
Once your first one is done, save it as your own simple invoice template. Next time you only change the client, the work and the number.
Send it when the work is done
Invoice the day you deliver, while the job is fresh in your client's mind. Waiting weeks makes payment feel less urgent.
Say how you want to be paid
An invoice without payment details invites a reply asking how to pay. Put the answer on the page.
