How this invoice maker and estimate creator works

  1. Choose invoice or estimate, and your trade. The invoice generator loads the standard invoice template line items for that trade, priced on the unit it actually uses.
  2. Fill in who it is from and who it is to, then the quantity and rate for each line (up to 5 lines on web).
  3. Sign in with iCloud (Apple ID), then tap Download PDF, Download CSV, or Save to iCloud. Your first 5 web saves are free; open Keel on your iPhone with the same Apple ID to unlock unlimited year-round records across web and mobile.

What an invoice template needs to get paid

A unique invoice number, the issue date, the due date, your business name and contact details, the client's name, an itemized line for each piece of work with its quantity and rate, and the total. When you use the tool as a quote maker or estimate maker, it adds how long the price holds. The full checklist, including what changes for businesses registered for sales tax, GST/HST or VAT, is in what to include on an invoice, and the sending side is covered in how to invoice a client.

Web invoice maker free vs. free invoice app on iPhone

You can open this invoice maker free in Safari to create a one-off PDF invoice or estimate on the spot. Because a browser tab does not store your client directory, sequential invoice numbers, or unpaid invoice tracker, contractors, tradies and solo businesses who bill every week use Keel: Invoice Generator on iPhone. The step-by-step iPhone invoicing guide compares a single-use browser template with running a dedicated billing app and receipt tracker from your truck.

Adding sales tax, GST/HST or VAT

Put the rate in the tax field and the invoice creator adds the tax as its own line under the subtotal. Whether you must charge it, and on what, depends on where you work: in some US states contractor labor is taxed and in others only materials are. Check your state in Washington, California, Texas or North Carolina, Canada's GST/HST rates by province, Australia's tax invoice template, or how to calculate GST in New Zealand.

Invoice and estimate templates by trade

Each of these opens the same contractor invoice maker and quote maker preset for that trade, alongside a filled-in example and a CSV you can keep.

Freelance work has its own worked example in the freelance invoice template.

When you outgrow a single-document web invoice generator

This web tool is built to do one single job well: produce one clean PDF invoice or estimate right now. It deliberately does not save your business profile, client history or payment status in the browser. When you need to track which invoices are still unpaid, attach material receipts and log mileage under the same job, Keel brings your invoice maker, quote maker, receipt tracker and mileage log together on iPhone with no bank connection.

Frequently asked questions

Is this free invoice generator and invoice maker really free?

Yes. This invoice maker is free to use in your browser with no account and no watermark. It builds a single-job PDF or CSV invoice template on your device; for unlimited line items, saved clients and full job tracking, download the free Keel invoice app on iPhone.

Can I use this as an easy invoice maker app on my iPhone?

Yes. Open this invoice creator in Safari, fill in up to 5 line items and tap Download PDF. If you need a dedicated free invoice app and quote maker every week on site, Keel on the App Store saves your clients, numbers invoices sequentially and tracks what has been paid.

How do I add sales tax, GST/HST or VAT to the invoice template?

Enter the rate in the tax field. The invoice generator shows the tax as its own line under the subtotal, which is how US state sales tax, Canadian GST/HST, Australian GST and New Zealand GST rules expect it to appear.

Can I use this as a quote maker or estimate maker instead of an invoice?

Yes. Switch the document type to Estimate. The number changes to an EST prefix, the due date becomes a valid-until date, and the notes explain how long the quote holds. When the client accepts, switch it back to Invoice.

Does this web invoice creator save my client list or payment history?

No. The web preview is scoped to one single document (up to 5 line items) and clears when you close the tab. To keep your client list, unlimited line items, receipts, mileage and unpaid invoice tracker in one place, use the Keel app on iPhone.
