How the free invoice generator works
Type your details into the form on the left and the invoice preview updates in real time on the right. When you are done, hit "Print / Save as PDF" and your browser prints only the invoice, nothing else on the page. Save it as a PDF from the print dialog and send it straight to your client.
You can add as many line items as you need. Each row has a description, quantity, and unit price. The tool works out the line amount, subtotal, GST (if you have it ticked), and total automatically. All figures are formatted in Australian dollars.
There is no account to create, no email to hand over, and no watermark on the invoice. It runs entirely in your browser. Nothing gets sent to a server.
What an Australian invoice must include
The ATO has specific requirements for tax invoices. Miss any of these and your client may not be able to claim GST credits, which can cause friction at payment time.
- Your business name and ABN: the entity supplying the goods or services
- The words "Tax Invoice": exactly that, prominently on the document
- Invoice date: the date it was issued, not the due date
- A clear description of what was supplied
- The total amount payable in Australian dollars
- GST amount shown separately if you are registered for GST
- The buyer's identity or ABN on tax invoices of $1,000 or more
The generator covers all of these. Just make sure your ABN is correct before you send. You can cross-check ABNs at the Australian Business Register.
If you need to work out GST quickly outside of an invoice, use our GST calculator to add or remove 10% in seconds.
Stop making invoices by hand
This tool is handy for one-off invoices. But if you are issuing the same invoice every month, or creating invoices right after a job is logged in your CRM or job management system, doing it by hand every time is a waste of your day.
Most small businesses can automate the whole cycle (job completed, invoice generated, email sent to client, payment tracked) without touching it. The trigger is usually a status change in your CRM, a completed booking, or a timesheet entry. The invoice goes out automatically, already formatted and correct, within seconds of the job being marked done.
We built this kind of system for an NDIS provider: each support worker's invoice is drafted from the week's roster, the owner approves it, and it is filed in SharePoint with a copy in Xero.
