Professional invoice templates

Invojoy ships with two templates — Classic (understated, print-first) and Modern (violet accents, stronger hierarchy). Both produce the same A4 PDF structure: header, parties, dated line items, totals, and payment details. Switch anytime in the invoice generator.

What every invoice should include

A unique invoice number and issue + due dates.
Your business name and contact, and the client's name and billing address.
One line per deliverable: description, quantity, unit price, line total.
Subtotal, any discount, tax rate with a clear label (VAT, GST…), and the final amount due.
How to pay: bank details or payment link, plus the reference to quote.

Numbering, dates, and tax — practical guidance

Numbers: use a simple running series (INV-0001, INV-0002…). Never reuse a number; if you void one, keep a note.

Dates: issue date is when you send it; due date follows your agreed terms (7, 14, or 30 days are common). Invojoy lets you display ISO, US, or European date formats.

Tax: label the rate honestly (e.g. “VAT 25%”) and calculate it on the discounted subtotal — that's what Invojoy does. Rules differ by country; this generator is general-purpose, not a certified tax system.

Which template should you pick?

Agencies and corporate clients often prefer Classic. Freelancers, studios, and creatives usually pick Modern. Both paginate long item lists and keep totals on a readable page — try a freelance example or jump straight in:
