Six things this invoice generator gets right
Most "free" invoice generators are a lead-magnet for a paid accounting product, with a watermark, a 3-per-month cap, or an email gate. This one is a tool, not a funnel. Built by Codersera so devs and consultants don't have to deal with any of that.

Eight fields a real invoice needs in 2026
Across US, UK, EU, India, Canada, Australia, Singapore, UAE, and South Africa, this is the legally-mandatory intersection — everything the generator supports out of the box.
- 01Your name, address, and tax IDYour legal entity or trading name, postal address, and the tax registration that applies to the country you invoice from (EIN, VAT, GSTIN, ABN, TRN, etc.).
- 02Your client’s name, address, and tax IDFor B2B invoices in the UK / EU / India, the client’s tax ID is mandatory above local thresholds.
- 03A unique, sequential invoice numberRequired everywhere. The generator defaults to PREFIX-YYYY-NNNN — Stripe-, QuickBooks-, and HMRC-friendly.
- 04Issue date and due dateSome jurisdictions also want the "tax point" if it differs from the issue date — add it to the Notes block.
- 05Itemised lines with quantity, rate, and amountEach line carries its own tax rate. Add an HSN / SAC code per line for Indian GST.
- 06Tax breakdown by rateUK / EU / India / Canada / Australia all require the tax amount broken out by rate so the buyer can reconcile their input credit.
- 07Total payable in the invoice currencySingle currency per invoice. UK invoicers in foreign currency must also state the GBP-equivalent VAT for HMRC.
- 08Payment terms and instructions"Net 14" / "Due on receipt" plus bank, IBAN, SWIFT, UPI, or Stripe-link block in the payment-instructions field.
Invoice templates by profession
The same form, used five different ways. Each starting setup is a few clicks: change the unit, the rate, the tax mode, the notes.
Freelance developers
Per-feature lines or monthly retainer. Add a project code for budget allocation. UK / EU clients expect VAT broken out; US clients usually expect 1099-friendly EIN.
Consultants
Day-rate lines with `day` as the unit, plus an expenses line. Use the Notes block for the scope link and revision number.
Designers & agencies
Phase-based lines (Discovery / Design / Handoff). Apply a 30% deposit as a fixed line discount on the first invoice, then a full balance invoice at the end.
Contractors & trades
Material lines + labour lines, with the relevant local sales tax (US state) or GST / HST / PST split per line.
Monthly retainers
Use the same supplier, same client, same line items. Duplicate the prior month, bump the number, change the dates. The generator increments your sequence automatically.
Where you invoice from, how it lands
Setting the supplier tax-ID kind drives jurisdiction-specific reveals — GSTIN exposes HSN/SAC columns, VAT exposes reverse-charge helpers. These are quick reminders, not legal advice.
United States
Sales tax varies by state — set it per line. Include your EIN if you have one (sole-proprietors can omit). 1099-K thresholds apply over $5k aggregate via payment processors in 2026.
United Kingdom
If you’re VAT-registered, the invoice must carry your VAT number, the VAT breakdown by rate, and the VAT-inclusive total in GBP (even if invoiced in another currency — note the rate in the Notes block).
European Union
B2B cross-border invoices to other EU VAT-registered businesses use reverse charge — drop a line in the Notes that reads "Reverse charge, Article 196, Directive 2006/112/EC".
India (GST)
Set the supplier tax-ID kind to GSTIN — the HSN / SAC column appears on the line items table. For intra-state supply use CGST + SGST (combined as the line tax rate); for inter-state supply use IGST.
Canada
GST 5% federal + province-level PST or HST. Quebec QST is a separate, non-compound line as of 2013. Set per-line tax components to mirror the buyer’s province.
Australia
GST 10% on lines for GST-registered suppliers. Display "Tax Invoice" prominently — the generator already does so. Include your ABN; the buyer’s ABN is required over AUD 1,000.
Questions worth asking
Is the invoice generator actually free?
Yes — fully free, no signup, no watermark on the PDF, no per-month invoice limit. Drafts save to this browser; download the PDF as many times as you want.
Where is my invoice data stored?
On your device, in this browser’s IndexedDB. Nothing is uploaded to Codersera unless you sign in to sync (sign-in is optional and not required). Closing the tab keeps your drafts; clearing browser storage wipes them.
How do I download the PDF?
Click Download / Print PDF. Your browser opens its print dialog — pick Save as PDF as the destination. The PDF matches the on-screen preview exactly, with selectable text (great for OCR and accounting software).
Does it work for international invoicing (₹, €, £, ¥)?
57 currencies with locale-aware formatting via your browser’s native number formatter. Indian Rupee uses the lakh / crore grouping, Japanese Yen drops decimals, European locales use comma decimals. Currency symbols are vector text in the saved PDF.
Can I add my logo and brand colour?
Yes. Upload a PNG / JPG / SVG — it’s read in your browser only, never sent to Codersera. Pick any hex colour for the brand rail and total-row tint. Both render in the saved PDF.
How do I handle GST for India?
Set your tax ID type to GSTIN — the HSN / SAC column appears on the line items table. For intra-state supply combine CGST + SGST into a single tax rate on each line (e.g. 18%). For inter-state supply use IGST. The withholding field handles TDS deductions.
Can I handle UK VAT and EU reverse charge?
Yes. Set your supplier tax-ID to VAT and enter your VAT number. For UK domestic invoices, per-line VAT (0%, 5%, 20%) shows up in the totals breakdown. For EU B2B cross-border reverse-charge, set the line tax to 0% and add the legal phrasing to the Notes block.
Can I export the data?
Yes — the JSON button exports the current invoice as machine-readable JSON, so you can pipe it into Stripe Invoicing, QuickBooks, Xero, or your own CRM. Schema lives in src/lib/invoice-generator/types.ts (open source).
Do you support recurring invoices?
Not yet directly. The Duplicate button creates an exact copy with a fresh number and today’s date — for monthly retainers, duplicate last month’s invoice and change one date. A scheduled-recurring feature is on the roadmap.
What about estimates / quotes / credit notes?
On the roadmap. The same form will switch between Invoice / Quote / Estimate / Credit Note via a header dropdown. For now, hand-edit the doc title in your printed PDF if you need a quote.
Is the PDF accessible and SEO-friendly?
Yes — vector text means screen readers and PDF search work; tax / line tables use real <table> HTML; numbers use tabular-nums for column alignment. Saved PDFs ship without tracking pixels.
Need a vetted developer to actually do the work you’re invoicing for?
Codersera matches companies with rigorously-vetted remote developers across React / Node / Python / mobile / AI stacks. Risk-free trial, technical interview at our end, no commission take from the developer. See our hire pages.
