What is a printable receipt book page?

A sheet of blank receipts you print and fill in by hand, like a page from a receipt book. This template's PDF prints three receipts on one A4 page, each with a stub on its left that you keep as your record, and dashed lines to cut along.

How do I print and cut the receipts?

Print the PDF, then cut along the dashed lines: the two horizontal lines separate the three receipts, and the vertical line on each receipt separates the stub. Write the receipt's details on the stub before you cut it off, and keep the stubs in number order.

What paper size is the template?

The PDF page is A4 (210 × 297 mm). If your printer uses US Letter paper, scale the page to fit in your print settings and check a test print first. The files haven't been tested on any printer.

How do I number the receipts and stubs?

The blank PDF has a receipt number line but no printed number, so write the same number on each receipt and its stub, in one unbroken sequence, and never reuse a number. Mark a spoiled receipt "VOID" and keep it with its stub.

Can I email a receipt instead of printing it?

Yes. Type the receipt in the Word or Excel file instead of using the PDF, then save or export it as a PDF and email it. If your customers pay online through Billed, Billed sends a payment receipt after each online payment.

Should I write receipts by hand or type them?

Write them by hand when you take payments away from a computer and one line describes the payment. Type them when you list several items, want to email the receipt or keep digital copies; the itemized and simple receipts are set up for typing.

Q: Why should I keep the stub?

It's your copy of the receipt: the number, date, who paid, the amount and what it was for. In the US, the IRS lists receipt books among the documents that support a business's gross receipts. Keep the stubs in number order with your other records.

Quick answer:This page has a free printable receipt book page for writing receipts by hand. The PDF prints three blank receipts on one A4 sheet. Each receipt has lines for the business name, phone or email, receipt number, date, who paid, what it was for, the amount in words, the payment method, the amount received and a "Received by" signature, and each has a stub on its left to keep for your records, with the receipt number, date, payer, amount and what it was for. Dashed lines show where to cut. The Word and Excel files hold one receipt and its stub filled with a sample farm stand sale, for typing instead. The PDF has no printed numbers: you number each receipt and its stub by hand.

What this printable receipt book page is for

This template is for writing receipts by hand, the way you would from a receipt book: at a market stall, at the door, on a job or anywhere you don't have a computer. Print the PDF, and each sheet gives you three blank receipts, each with a stub on its left that you keep. Hand the customer the receipt, keep the stub, and you have a record of every payment you received.

Each receipt has:

Business name and Phone / email.
Receipt no. and Date.
Received from, For and Amount in words.
Payment method and Amount received.
A "Received by" signature line and a PAID marker.

Each stub, headed "Stub (keep for your records)", has:

Receipt no., Date, Received from, Amount and For.

It comes as three files:

PDF: the receipt book page, with three blank receipts and stubs on one A4 sheet and dashed lines to cut along. There are no sample values and no printed receipt numbers.
Word (.docx) and Excel (.xlsx): one receipt and its stub, filled with a sample, for typing instead of writing by hand. Overwrite the sample with your own details.

The preview on this page shows one receipt and its stub with the sample filled in. The PDF has the same fields, blank, three times on each page, with each stub in its own strip to the left of its receipt, separated by a dashed cut line.

The sample is a farm stand sale: receipt FS-0042 on Nov 14, 2026, received from Jordan Example for pumpkins and apple cider, 45.00 ("Forty-five dollars and 00/100") paid in cash, with the same details copied to the stub. In the Excel file, "Amount received" is a typed amount, not a formula. The file's tip says to enter the amount in figures and the same amount in words, and to copy the receipt number, date, payer, what it was for and the amount to the stub.

How to print and cut

Print the PDF. The page is A4 (210 × 297 mm), the same size as the other receipt PDFs on this site. If your printer uses US Letter paper, use your print settings to scale the page to fit the paper, then check one test print before you print a stack. We haven't tested these files on any printer, so check the first sheet.
Cut along the dashed lines. Two horizontal lines separate the three receipts. On each receipt, a vertical line separates the stub on the left from the receipt.
Keep the stubs together. Before you cut a stub off, write the receipt's details on it. Keep the stubs in number order, for example clipped or stapled in the order you wrote them.

You can also cut the sheets into three receipts first and cut each stub off only when you write a receipt, so the stub stays with its receipt until then.

Numbering receipts and stubs by hand

The blank PDF prints a "Receipt no." line on each receipt and each stub, but no number. Number them yourself:

Write the same number on the receipt and its stub, so the two can be matched later.
Use one unbroken sequence. Start where your last receipt ended and never reuse a number. A short prefix helps if more than one person writes receipts, like the sample's "FS-0042".
You can number a stack in advance. Write the numbers on a batch of printed sheets before you use them, in order, so you always take the next one.
Don't throw away a spoiled receipt. Write "VOID" across it and its stub and keep both, so a missing number has an explanation.

Filling in a receipt by hand

Amount received and Amount in words. Write the amount in figures in the box and the same amount in words on its line, as the sample does ("Forty-five dollars and 00/100"), so the two can be checked against each other.
For. Say what the payment was for in a few words: "Pumpkins and apple cider", "October lessons" or "Deposit for the Nov 20 order".
Payment method. Cash, check (with the check number) or card.
Received by. The person who took the money signs. Each printed receipt is already marked PAID, so use it only once you have the money.
Copy to the stub the receipt number, date, who paid, the amount and what it was for.

Keeping the stub

The stub is your copy. In the US, the IRS lists "receipt books" among the documents that support a business's gross receipts, along with invoices, deposit information and cash register tapes (IRS: What kind of records should I keep). It also says that, generally, you must keep records that support an item of income, deduction or credit on your tax return until the period of limitations for that return runs out (IRS: How long should I keep records).

Keep the stubs in number order, with any voided receipts, so you can match them to your cash count or bank deposits. Outside the US, check with your tax authority how long to keep them.

Handwritten or typed?

A handwritten receipt from a printed page works when:

you take payments away from a computer, at a stall, a door or a job site;
one line describes what the payment was for;
you want a paper stub for every receipt you hand over.

A typed receipt works better when:

you list several items with prices, discounts or tax. Use the itemized receipt for that;
you want to email the receipt, or keep copies on your computer. The Word and Excel files on this page hold the same receipt for typing, and the simple receipt is a typed one-payment receipt;
the customer pays online. If you invoice in Billed, customers can pay online by card or PayPal, and Billed sends a payment receipt after each online payment.

What's included in this receipt template

Receipt	Per page	Best for
Printable receipt book (this page)	3 blank receipts with stubs	Writing receipts by hand
Blank receipt page	1 blank receipt	One blank receipt, simple or itemized
Simple receipt	1 receipt	Typing one payment
Itemized receipt	1 receipt	Typing a sale line by line

When this isn't for you

If you want to list several items with prices and discounts, use the itemized receipt. If you type every receipt on a computer, the simple receipt's Word or Excel file is quicker than printing a book page. If the customer hasn't paid yet, send an invoice instead.
