Invoice templates

Seven invoice layouts, drawn on screen by the same templates MetroPay uses for the PDF and the customer page, and two worked examples for freelance and photography work.

Layouts

Seven layouts

Every preview is INV-1042, Northline Studio's invoice for $1,250.00, so you compare the layouts and nothing else. Your logo, colours, numbering and custom fields apply to whichever you choose.

  • Classic

    A serif sheet with your details top left, the invoice number top right, a rule in your brand colour under the header, and a plainly ruled items table.

  • Modern

    A header band filled with your brand colour, the same colour on the items table header, and a sans-serif body below it.

  • Minimal

    Wide margins, a small letter-spaced title, no header rule, and a borderless items table beneath a single line.

  • Statement

    A dense three-column block for dates, billed-to and remit-to, an account summary band showing the balance, and a table header filled with your brand colour.

  • Ledger

    A grey ground with the header, the balance, the addresses and each line item drawn as separate white cards.

  • Split

    A white panel for the addresses and items beside a dark side panel that carries the number, the dates and the totals.

  • Contemporary

    Your business name in your brand colour, a three-column From, Billed To and details grid, and a rounded, bordered items table.

Northline Studio is a fictional business; none of these figures are real.

The essentials

What a good invoice includes

A layout changes where things sit. It does not change what has to be there.

  • Who is billing and who is billed, with an address or email for each
  • A unique invoice number that is never reused
  • The issue date and the date payment is due
  • Each item or service on its own line, with quantity, rate and amount
  • Tax where it applies, shown per line or in the totals
  • The total, and the balance still due
  • How to pay, and the terms you agreed

The guide on how to write an invoice covers each of these in plain English, and the invoice templates feature explains how layouts, branding and numbering work inside MetroPay.
