Start with tax setup
Choose no tax, GST, VAT, or sales tax before picking the visual style. Tax fields affect what the client can legally or operationally record.
Pick a visual style, then choose your tax setup. The five styles look the same whether you charge no tax, GST, VAT, or US sales tax - only the tax fields change.
Five distinct looks. Pick your tax setup below and we'll open the generator preconfigured for it - the visual style stays the same.

The visual design can change later. The tax setup decides which fields and totals appear on the document.
| Compare | Invoice fields | Use when | Watch for |
|---|---|---|---|
| No tax | Subtotal, total, payment terms | You are not registered for tax or the service is not taxable. | Do not hide tax inside the rate if you are required to show it. |
| India GST | GSTIN, HSN/SAC, CGST/SGST or IGST | You are issuing a GST invoice for Indian business. | Use IGST for interstate supply and CGST/SGST within a state. |
| VAT | VAT number, VAT rate, VAT summary | You bill in a VAT system such as the UK, EU, or UAE. | Reverse-charge and cross-border rules can change what appears. |
| US sales tax | Sales-tax rate and taxable amount | You sell taxable goods or services in a state/local jurisdiction. | Many service invoices do not charge sales tax, but rules vary. |
A good template choice is mostly about reducing approval friction. These rules cover most freelancer and small-business invoices.

Minimal and classic styles are best for straightforward approval. Modern and elegant styles are useful when brand impression matters.
Open a specialist template only when the document type is truly different, such as receipt, proforma invoice, GST invoice, or service invoice.
The template page is for choosing the right starting point. The generator is where you add real client details, line items, payment terms, and download the PDF.
An invoice isn't one-size-fits-all once tax is involved. The tax system, the identifier you must show, and even the document title change from country to country:
Picking the matching template sets the right fields and calculations for you. The visual style (minimal, modern, classic, corporate, elegant) is separate, so you can make any template look the way you want.
Use this checklist before opening the generator, especially if the invoice includes tax.
This prevents missing identifiers such as GSTIN, VAT number, or sales tax.
Corporate clients usually care more about clarity than visual personality.
A consistent style makes your records easier to scan and reconcile.
A template is only a starting point; the real invoice needs client-specific details.
