Is this invoice generator completely free?

Yes. No account, no subscription, no hidden fees. Fill in your details, pick a style, and download your PDF.

Can I add my own logo?

Yes. Upload a PNG or JPG logo and it appears on your invoice. Your logo is not stored - it only exists in your browser session.

What VAT rates does it support?

UK: 0%, 5%, and 20%. Ireland: 0%, 9%, 13.5%, and 23%. Switch the currency at the top of the form to apply the correct rate set for your country.

Does this create HMRC-valid invoices?

The generator produces invoices with all the fields HMRC requires: your name and address, a unique sequential invoice number, the date, client details, a description of each item, the VAT rate, and the VAT amount. If you are not VAT registered, HMRC only requires your name, the date, and the total - no VAT fields needed.

Can I use this for quotes as well?

Yes. The generator supports both invoice and quote format. Change the document label at the top of the form and the output will be titled accordingly. For trade-specific templates, see the invoice and quote templates section.

Can Irish sole traders use this?

Yes. Click EUR at the top of the form to switch to Irish VAT rates: 0%, 9%, 13.5%, and 23%. The invoice will use the euro symbol and Irish VAT formatting.

Can I save my details for next time?

This web tool does not store data between sessions. For repeat invoicing with saved client details, your VAT number, and your logo pre-loaded, PayReady's app saves everything and generates an invoice from your phone in under 30 seconds.

Know the rules

What a valid invoice must include

If you are VAT registered, HMRC and Irish Revenue both require specific fields on every invoice. The generator includes all of them. Here is what each market requires.

UK - HMRC

Your business name and address
Unique sequential invoice number
Invoice date
Client name and address
Description of goods or services
Net amount excluding VAT
VAT rate applied
VAT amount charged
Gross total due

Ireland - Revenue

Your business name, address, and VAT number
Sequential invoice number
Invoice date (and tax point if different)
Customer name and address
Description of supply
VAT rate applied
VAT amount for each rate
Total amount payable

Not VAT registered?

In the UK, the VAT registration threshold is £90,000 turnover. In Ireland it is €80,000 for goods and €40,000 for services. Below the threshold, you do not charge VAT and do not need VAT fields on your invoice - just your name, the date, a description, and the total. Set VAT to 0% in the generator above.
