Free Receipt Generator
A receipt proves payment was received — it is not the same document as an invoice. Generate one here and hand it over the moment money changes hands.
What to include on a receipt
- A receipt should state the payment method (cash, card, transfer) and a reference number.
- Receipts are not invoices: never use one to request payment, and never use an invoice as proof of payment.
- For cash payments, keep a duplicate. It is your only evidence if the amount is disputed.
How it works
- 1. Fill in the form. Add your details, the client, and each line item with quantity and rate.
- 2. Check the totals. Tax and discount update as you type — nothing is stored or submitted.
- 3. Download the PDF. A print-ready A4 document is generated in your browser and saved directly to your device.
Privacy: this tool runs entirely on your device. Your client names, addresses and amounts are never sent to a server, and there is no account to create.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a receipt and an invoice?
An invoice requests payment and is issued before payment. A receipt confirms payment and is issued after.
Do I need to give a receipt for cash?
In most jurisdictions yes, on request — and always for rent, deposits and professional services.
Can a receipt be used for expense claims?
Usually yes, if it shows the date, amount, payee and what was paid for. Add your tax ID for business claims.
