How to create an invoice
Creating an invoice means putting in one place: who you are, who the client is, what you delivered, how much is due, and when and how to pay. You can use a free invoice generator, a template in Word, Excel, or Google Docs, or build one from scratch. The steps are: (1) Add your and your client’s details. (2) Assign an invoice number and set the invoice and due dates. (3) List each item or service with quantity, rate, and amount. (4) Add subtotal, tax if applicable, and total due. (5) State payment terms and how to pay. (6) Save as PDF and send the invoice. For what each field means and why it matters, see how to write an invoice and invoice format.
