What makes this invoice single-column?

In the PDF, the From block, the invoice details and the Bill to block are stacked one above the other, with each field on its own full-width line, and How to pay sits below the totals. In the Word file, each block is its own two-column table of labels and values, stacked in the same order.

Why does the preview on this page show two columns?

The page preview uses the site's shared preview layout, which places some blocks side by side. The single-column layout is in the downloaded PDF and Word files.

What should a services invoice include?

Your business details; the invoice number, date, payment terms and due date; the client; each service with its quantity, rate and amount; sales tax if it applies; the amount due; and how to pay.

How many lines does the services table have?

Six. In the Excel file each line has an amount formula, so empty lines fill in as you type. For more lines, insert a row inside the table, copy the amount formula into it and check that the subtotal includes it.

Can I add a discount or deposit?

The template has no discount or deposit lines: just the subtotal, a sales tax line and the amount due. If you need those lines, an invoice with them built in fits better.

Which format should I download?

Use the PDF for a blank single-column A4 form to fill in by hand. Use the Word or Excel file to type the invoice: both have the sample filled in. The Excel file calculates the line amounts, subtotal, tax and amount due.

What this modern invoice is for

Use this invoice to bill services when you want an invoice that reads from top to bottom in one column, with each field on its own line. It has a short four-column services table and no extra sections.

The single-column layout is in the downloaded files:

PDF: the From block, the invoice details and the Bill to block are stacked one above the other, each field on its own full-width line. The services table and totals follow, and How to pay sits below the totals rather than beside them.
Word: each block is its own two-column table of labels and values, stacked in the same order.
Excel: the blocks are listed one below the other in the first columns, with the services table and totals below them.

The preview on this page shows the same content in the site's shared preview layout, with blocks side by side, not the single-column layout of the files.

The invoice is titled INVOICE and has these parts:

From: business name, address, and phone or email.
Invoice details: invoice number, invoice date, payment terms and due date.
Bill to: client, address and email.
Services: Description, Qty, Rate and Amount, with 6 lines.
Totals: Subtotal, "Sales tax, if applicable" and Amount due.
How to pay and Notes.

How the sample adds up

The sample is invoice WS-0412 from a copywriting studio to a yoga collective, dated Nov 25, 2026 on Net 14 terms, due Dec 9, 2026:

a brand messaging workshop, 1 at 1,200.00;
website copy, 6 pages at 250.00, 1,500.00;
copy edits, 3 hours at 90.00, 270.00.

That's a subtotal and amount due of 2,970.00, with sales tax at 0%. The notes give a sample term: "Sample terms: two rounds of copy edits are included; further edits are billed by the hour." Replace it with your own terms. These figures only show how the form works; they aren't typical rates.

Filling in the template

The PDF is a blank single-column form to print and fill in by hand, with 6 service lines and a blank for the tax percentage. It's sized for A4 paper, so if you print on US Letter, check the scaling setting in your print dialog so the whole page fits. The Word and Excel files have the same parts filled with the sample, for you to overwrite.

In the Excel file:

each of the 6 lines has an amount formula, Qty × Rate rounded to the cent, so the 3 empty lines fill in as you type;
the Subtotal adds the 6 lines;
"Sales tax, if applicable" is the Subtotal × its rate cell (0% in the sample), and Amount due is the Subtotal plus the tax;
the file's tip says: to leave out the sales tax, set its rate to 0%, and don't delete these rows, because the totals refer to them.

Whether your services are taxable depends on where you work, so check the rules there before you set a rate. In the Word file the tax line shows its rate in the label ("(0%)"); in Word or on the PDF, work out the amounts yourself.

What's included in this invoice template

File	Layout
PDF	Single column, blank, one field per full-width line
Word	Single column of two-column label and value tables, with the sample
Excel	Blocks listed one below the other, with the sample and formulas
Page preview	The site's shared two-column preview

When this isn't for you

If you sell products with item numbers, shipping or discounts, an invoice with those lines fits better. If your invoicing software already sends invoices in your own layout, use it so your records and invoices match.
