Description

This spreadsheet can be used as a very simple small business invoice system. You can bill for specific items or by the hour. The "Taxed" column lets you easily mark whether sales tax should be applied to a line item. This means that you can include charges for parts and other physical goods. (See your local and state laws to check on rules for taxation of labor and goods sold.)

If you need to provides quotes to your customer, you can use our quote template, which is based on the same design as this invoice.

4/10/2014 Update: The latest update for Excel 2007+ includes a second worksheet tab with an invoice design that lets you add unit cost and quantity to calculate the amount for each item.

Older 2003 Version

The Excel 2003 version contains multiple sample invoices on separate worksheet tabs. They all include the same basic features and layout, except that three of them allow you to enter a Unit Cost and Quantity for each item. The variations are mostly just different formatting (fonts and colors). The formats include our original classic design and a couple more ink-friendly forms (two of these are shown in the preview images to the left).

This invoice spreadsheet uses conditional formatting to highlight every other row in the table. That helps make the table easier to read.

If you need more rows, just insert the rows below the first item or above the last item. If you do that, you should probably check the Subtotal and Taxable formulas to make sure that the totals reference the correct rows.

Managing Your Invoices

If you need help with invoice management (keeping track of your invoices), read our Small Business Invoicing article. Unless you create and send a large number of invoices each month, you may not need expensive or complicated invoice software. Our article outlines some basic file management techniques that you can use to manage invoices created using Excel.

New! Invoice Manager

  • Manage and track your invoices using Excel.
  • Create aging and open balance reports.
  • Customize multiple invoices or insert your own.

Preprinted Invoice Forms on Carbonless Paper

If you are looking for pre-printed invoice forms because you want to use the white-yellow-pink carbonless forms, you don't have to settle for what you find at an office supply store.

You can use a template like the one above and customize your own invoice form with your own logo, company information, and terms and conditions, etc. Then, you can have the customized form printed by a professional printing company.

Invoice Templates for Word

A note about using an invoice template for Word: Invoices include calculations, and that is why you should use a spreadsheet. If you use an invoice form created in Word, you have to use your own calculator to figure out the totals. Of course, if all you are doing is designing a blank invoice form to be printed, Word may be fine.
