Frequently Asked Questions

What should a freelance invoice include?+

A professional freelance invoice must include your business name/contact info, the client’s billing contact, invoice issue date, payment due date (e.g. Net 14), itemized hourly or project deliverables, payment details (bank wire, ACH, Stripe, or PayPal), and payment terms including late fee policies.

Can I calculate both hourly rates and fixed milestones on one invoice?+

Yes. Generate Real Invoice lets you define custom units for each line item—such as "hours", "days", "milestone", or "project"—and automatically calculates subtotal sums and totals.

Do I need to sign up or create an account to download my invoice?+

No. You can open this freelance template, edit any field, customize your brand color or logo, and download a pristine PDF with zero registration and zero watermarks.

Are my freelance client details and income numbers kept private?+

Yes. All data processing occurs entirely inside your browser. No financial data, client names, or hourly rates are ever transmitted to a backend server.
