Write a simple invoice as a freelancer
A client needs a PDF invoice with line items, tax, and a total — not an accounting subscription. Build one and print it to PDF.

The job
Occasional invoicing needs the document, not the platform: your details, the client's, numbered line items, a tax line, and a total that adds up.
Fill it in
Enter both parties, the invoice number and dates, then add line items with quantity and unit price. Discounts, tax rate, and shipping fold into the totals automatically.
- Amount discounts and percentage discounts are both supported.
- The currency is a label you type — the math is plain two-decimal arithmetic.
Worked example
Design work 20 h × ¥8,000, minus a 5 % discount, plus 10 % consumption tax: the subtotal, discount, taxable amount, tax, and grand total each get their own line so the client can follow the math.
What it isn't
No saved clients, no sequential numbering enforced, no e-invoicing compliance fields — it's a calculator with a print layout. For Japan's qualified-invoice system you still need your registration number in the text you write; the tool does not verify it.
- Up to 100 line items; print or save to PDF via the browser's print dialog.
- Nothing is stored or sent — reopening the page starts fresh.
