How to Make a Good Invoice – What it Should Include

Your invoice should represent your business and should include your logo as well as relevant information for your business. Use the invoice examples on this page as your baseline, or download your own copy below.

The invoice should also be easy to read and easy for the client to determine what they need to pay and how they can pay it. The cleaner the invoice looks, the easier it is for customers to find the information they’re looking for.

In your invoice, make sure you separate different parts of your work into appropriate topics so the client can easily see what they’re paying for and how you came up with the total. You should also include the total, any payments made, and the amount they still owe.

It’s a good idea for you to include methods of payments you accept as well as any information they’ll need to use their preferred payment method. You’ll want to let them know when the payment is due to help make sure they’ll pay the full amount on time. The easier it is for them to read and understand, the more likely it is you’ll be paid quickly for the work your business has done.

  • List of products or services provided — including cost & taxes
  • Payment terms and instructions
