Is this invoice generator really free?
Yes. Every document type, all three designs, your logo, PDF downloads and printing are free, with no account and no limit on the number of documents. Free PDFs carry one small “Made with Billwise” line at the bottom. Pro, a one-time upgrade, removes that line and adds saved clients, an item library, automatic numbering, a CSV history and bulk PDFs.
Do you see the invoices I make?
No. The form, the preview and the PDF are all produced by code running in your browser, so client names, amounts and bank details are never sent to us. On this page the current document is kept as a draft in your browser’s local storage so it survives a reload; clear it with the New button or your browser settings.
How are the discount, tax and balance due calculated?
The discount comes off the subtotal first (a percentage, or a fixed amount capped at the subtotal) and is spread across taxable and untaxed lines in proportion. Each tax rate is then applied to the taxable amount after the discount, side by side rather than compounded. Shipping is added untaxed, any amount already paid is subtracted, and every figure is rounded to the currency’s smallest unit: cents for USD, whole yen for JPY, three decimals for KWD.
Can I make an estimate, a quote or a receipt instead of an invoice?
Yes. The Type menu switches between invoice, estimate, quote, receipt, proforma invoice, credit note, purchase order. Headings, date labels and the total line change with it, and receipts are stamped PAID once the amount paid covers the total.
Which currencies and number formats are supported?
The currency menu lists 52 common currencies and accepts any other three-letter ISO 4217 code. Dates and amounts can be formatted in 30 regional styles, for example 1,234.50 for the US or 1.234,50 for Germany.
How do I send the invoice to my client?
Download the PDF and attach it to an e-mail, or print it and post it. Billwise does not send e-mails or collect payments for you, so put your bank or payment details in the Payment details box and they appear on the document.
