Free Invoice Templates

Six professional, free invoice templates in Word, Excel and PDF — download one, fill it in, and send it. Or skip the files and create the same invoice online, free.

A good invoice template does more than look tidy: it puts your business details, an itemised list of work, the tax, and the amount due where a client expects to find them — so you get paid faster and with fewer questions. Every BillsZilla template includes your business and client blocks, a line-item table, subtotal, tax, amount due, and payment details. Download them as editable Word (.docx) or Excel (.xlsx) files — the Excel versions calculate totals with live formulas — or as a print-ready PDF. Prefer not to wrestle with files? Each design is also built into our free invoice generator: fill in a form, watch the live preview, and export a finished PDF.

How to use a template in 3 steps

  1. Pick a design and format. Choose the template that fits your brand, then download Word for editing, Excel for automatic totals, or PDF for print.
  2. Make it yours. Replace the sample business and client details, list your work with quantities and rates, and set your tax rate.
  3. Send it and get paid. Email the file or attach it to a message. Next time, save the typing — the online generator remembers your business details.

Why use a BillsZilla template?

Most “free” invoice templates online come with a catch: a signup wall before the download, a watermark on the file, or a spreadsheet with broken formulas. BillsZilla templates are genuinely free — the file is yours the moment you click download, the Excel totals are real formulas, and there is no branding anywhere on your invoice. And unlike a static file, every design also lives in our invoice generator, which auto-numbers your invoices, tracks what you have sent, converts totals to words, and even adds a payment QR code. Start with a download; graduate to the generator when invoicing becomes a habit. Working out what to charge? The hourly rate calculator and tax calculator are free too.

What every good invoice template includes

Whatever design you pick, a template that gets you paid has the same backbone. Check yours against this list before you send it:

Every BillsZilla template — downloaded or online — carries all ten. If a template you find elsewhere is missing the invoice number, the due date or the payment details, clients will come back with questions instead of payment.
