US Invoice Template

This page needs JavaScript switched on to build your invoice.

There is no single national invoice format in the United States. What you include depends on your business, your state and your client. This template opens set up for US dollars and Letter paper, with sales tax left for you to fill in.

What an invoice in the United States usually includes

Your business name and address
A unique invoice number
The invoice date and the due date
A description of the goods or services, with quantities and prices
Sales tax, if you are required to charge it, shown separately
The total due, and how to pay

This is a general guide, not tax or legal advice. Rules change and depend on your situation, so check with your tax authority or an accountant.

Questions people ask

Do I have to charge sales tax?

It depends on your state and on what you sell. Rules for services and goods vary. Check with your state tax authority, or ask an accountant.

Will my client ask for a W-9?

US clients often ask independent contractors for a W-9 before their first payment, so they can report what they pay you. It is separate from the invoice.

Is anything I type sent to a server?

No. The document is made inside your browser. Your business details and the last document are remembered on this device only, so you do not have to retype them, and you can wipe them with the link under the preview.
