Exact for the numbers entered.
For the United States, Canada, France and other EU countries. Totals are exact for the numbers entered. What each country asks an invoice to show was checked at official sources on October 24, 2026.
General information, not tax, legal or accounting advice.
Your invoice stays on this device. Nothing is sent. It is saved only if you tap “Save draft”.
Each line is rounded to the cent, and tax is worked out on the total of each rate, then rounded to the cent. Some accounting software rounds the tax on each line instead, which can differ by a cent.
We do not list required invoice details for the United States: we found no official federal list to cite. What an invoice should show, and whether you charge sales tax, can depend on where you and your client are. Check with your state’s tax office or an accountant.
France (micro-entrepreneur)
The French administration lists these details for a micro-entrepreneur’s invoice:
The issue date and a unique number that follows one continuous, chronological sequence.
The date of the sale or service (or of a down payment).
Your first and last name with “Entrepreneur individuel” or “EI” before or after it, your address and your SIREN number.
Your client’s name (or company name) and, for a private person, their address.
The purchase order number, if the client issued one.
VAT numbers of you and your business client, unless the total before tax is 150 € or less.
For each line: quantity, precise description, unit price before tax and the VAT rate, or the exemption mention.
Total before tax (HT) and total with tax (TTC), with any extra charges and discounts.
The payment date, the early-payment discount terms (or “Escompte pour paiement anticipé : néant”), the late-payment penalty rate, and the fixed 40 € recovery indemnity owed by a business client who pays late.
Under the VAT exemption for small businesses (franchise en base): “TVA non applicable, art. L. 223 et s. du code des impositions sur les biens et services (CIBS)” since September 1, 2026. The old “art. 293 B du code général des impôts” wording stays accepted until December 31, 2027.
Electronic invoicing applies to micro-businesses from September 1, 2027, with four more details. This tool makes a printable invoice, not an electronic one.
Checked at the official source on October 24, 2026.
If your client is registered for GST/HST, the Canada Revenue Agency lists what your invoice must show for them to claim the tax back (input tax credits). The list grows with the total of the sale:
Under $100: your business or trading name, the invoice date, and the total amount paid or payable.
$100 to $499.99: also the total GST/HST charged (or a statement that the price includes it at the applicable rate), which supplies are taxable or exempt if both are on the invoice, and your GST/HST registration number.
$500 or more: also the buyer’s name or trading name (or their authorized agent’s), a brief description of what you supplied, and the terms of payment.
Checked at the official source on October 24, 2026.
The European Commission lists what a full VAT invoice must show in every EU country. Each country can add its own rules, and small businesses exempt from VAT may follow lighter rules: check your country’s tax office.
The date of issue and a unique sequential number.
Your full name and address, and your client’s full name and address.
Your client’s VAT number, if your client is liable for the tax on the transaction.
A description and the quantity of what you supplied.
The unit price before tax, discounts or rebates (unless they are in the unit price).
The date of the supply or payment, if it differs from the invoice date.
The VAT rate, the VAT amount payable and a breakdown by rate or exemption.
For an exempt sale, a reference to the law that exempts it. If your client pays the VAT under the reverse charge, the words “reverse charge”.
Checked at the official source on October 24, 2026.

How to make an invoice that gets paid
An invoice tells your client what they owe, for what, and by when. A clear one gets paid faster: the client’s accounts team can check it in a minute and has no reason to send it back.
Worked example
Jordan, a designer in Portland, bills a coffee company for a new logo. The invoice has three lines:
Logo design: 12 hours at $85 = $1,020.00.
Brand guidelines: 1 at $450 = $450.00.
Printed sample cards: 5 at $9.99 = $49.95. These are goods, so Jordan adds sales tax at the rate that applies, here 8.875%.
Subtotal: $1,020.00 + $450.00 + $49.95 = $1,519.95. Sales tax: 8.875% of $49.95 = $4.4330625, rounded to $4.43. Total: $1,524.38.
The rate in this example is only an illustration. Whether you charge sales tax, and at what rate, depends on your state, what you sell and where your client is. Ask your state’s tax office if you are not sure.
What to put on every invoice
Your name and contact details, your client’s name, a unique invoice number, the date, a clear description of each item with its quantity and price, the total, and how and when to pay you. Add any tax numbers your country asks for.
In Canada, the Canada Revenue Agency lists what an invoice must show for a GST/HST-registered client to claim the tax back; the list grows at $100 and at $500. In France and the rest of the EU, the official lists are longer. The tool shows the list for the country you choose at the top of the page, with a link to each official source.
Rounding
Each line is rounded to the cent. Tax is worked out on the total of all lines at the same rate, then rounded to the cent, so the tax lines add up to what you show. Some accounting software rounds the tax on each line instead; the result can differ by a cent.
Questions people ask
Do I need to sign up or give my email?
No. There is no account and no email wall. You can print the invoice or save it as a PDF straight from your browser.
Is there a watermark on the PDF?
No. The PDF shows only your invoice: no PocketSolo logo, no ads, no watermark.
How do I save it as a PDF?
Tap “Print or save as PDF”, then pick “Save as PDF” (or “Microsoft Print to PDF”) as the printer. On a phone, use the share or print option of your browser.
Where is my draft saved?
Only in this browser, on this device, and only when you tap “Save draft”. Tap “Delete saved draft” to remove it. Nothing is sent to us.
Which tax rate should I use?
The one that applies to you; the tool does not choose it. In the United States it depends on your state and what you sell; in Canada it is the GST or HST rate of the province; in the EU it is your country’s VAT rate. Check with your tax office or an accountant.
How should I number my invoices?
Use one unbroken sequence, such as 2026-001, 2026-002. The official lists for France and the EU both ask for a unique sequential number.
