Which invoice template format should I use?

You have a few different choices when selecting a template. Each has it’s benefits and trade offs. Let’s go through them one by one:

Word or Google Docs

Microsoft Word is designed for general documents such as letters and reports. You can usually make quite good looking documents in Word. However it can be quite a pain to add line items, totals and calculate taxes. It can be quite difficult and frustrating to initially create your template, so make sure you start with an existing template.

I’ve often struggled with making a Word doc that looks the way I want it to. There are always some unseen and immovable margins at work. Do yourself a favour and skip making a template from scratch. Instead use one of the many free invoice templates provided here.

Excel or Google Sheets

Some recommend using Excel instead of Word, because of it’s automatic formulas. Excel makes it quite easy to add up your totals and measure taxes. You can set up a table with items and formulas with little effort.

However Excel falls short on the visuals. It’s very hard to make the invoice look professional, even when using professionally designed invoice templates. One of the main drawbacks is that it’s quite difficult to adjust column widths in Excel without impacting the whole document. This is because everything is inside one large table. You also don’t have access to the full range of styling options available in Word.

If you’re running a business, you understand that it’s always important to look at the big picture. With invoices, it’s not just about making the invoice itself. For example:

You’ll want to know which invoices have been paid, are due or overdue.
You want to track how much money you’ve earned each month/year for planning and tax purposes.
There are times were you need to refer back to an old invoice, searching through files is quite frustrating.
When it comes to getting paid you want to be able to accept credit cards and online payments.

Word and Excel both fail when it comes to the above tasks. Free invoice templates are a great way to get started, but it takes more to run a business.

Invoicing Software

The best option is to use tools and software designed for making invoices. You can use these tools to gain the best of both worlds! Great convenience as well as amazing style.

That’s where we come in. We’ve built our online invoice generator to be a great alternative to Word and Excel. Here are some of the added benefits of using Invoice Simple:

Professional layout
Fully customizable
Clients and items are automatically saved for future use
Simple book keeping for tax season
The app saves your clients and items, having them ready for use the next time you’re writing an invoice
Organize your invoices without needing to put in any additional time in
Use a professionally designed template that’s compatible with printers and mobile devices
See an overview of your business at a glance, without any effort
Know when your invoice is viewed by a customer
Process credit cards online or on the spot
and many more amazing benefits

If you’re invoicing more than once or twice a month it makes a lot of sense to switch to an invoicing software.

Other Software

There are people out there who don’t use any of the above options. I’ve heard of people using Photoshop, Indesign or Acrobat editable PDFs. Usually among photographers and designers who already have access to and use these tools for work.

These products all work fine if you’ve a made the template already. However they’re very energy intensive when you want to change something, for example your address or corporate color. Other problem is that the templates are very inflexible, for example if you have a line item that requires more space than usual, you’re out of luck.

Even more free invoice templates

Over the past couple months we’ve been asked for more templates. So here are a few specialized templates that could help you out:

5 Types of Invoices for Small Business

From consulting services to construction and from Excel to Google Docs, there are plenty of reasons and ways to create a small business invoice.

But what are the different types of invoices that small businesses can put to use?

There are plenty of different invoice versions you can use to get paid. These are the five most common types of invoices for small business:

Pro forma invoices are often used instead of an estimate — they show how much the project will be.
Interim invoices are used for larger projects, breaking them down into smaller installments.
Recurring invoices are used for retainers and other ongoing relationships.
Past due invoices are sent out as a sharp reminder that the customer still owes on the invoice.
Final invoices are the most common type of invoice, indicating that a project has been completed and payment is due.

You can use any of the invoice templates above to create these five types of invoices.
