Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our free online invoice generator.
What is a free invoice generator?

How do I make an invoice for free?

Can I add tax to my invoice?
Yes. Enter one percentage rate in Tax Rate. The tool applies it to the subtotal after any discount and shows tax separately. With no discount, a $100 subtotal and 8% tax give $8 tax and $108 total. Confirm which rate applies; the tool does not select it for you.
