Need an invoice for another country?

This invoice includes the details usually required in the United Kingdom. Rules change and depend on your business, so check with your accountant. The tool adds up what you type and applies the rate you pick. It does not make an invoice valid or compliant.

What an invoice in the United Kingdom usually shows

GOV.UK says every invoice shows a unique number, your business name, address and contact details, the customer's name and address, a clear description of what you charge for, the supply date, the invoice date, the amounts, any VAT and the total owed. A VAT invoice carries more, including your VAT registration number and the VAT rate for each line. The standard VAT rate is 20%, the reduced rate 5% and the zero rate 0%.

  • Turn VAT registration off and the invoice shows no VAT lines and no VAT number.
  • Zero-rated and exempt items are different things. This tool treats 0% as zero-rated, so ask your accountant about exempt items.

E-invoicing

The UK has no mandatory e-invoicing for ordinary business invoices today, and a PDF is a normal VAT invoice. Rules change and depend on your business, so check with your accountant.

Questions

Is this invoice generator free?

Yes. Make as many as you like, with no account. The PDF has a small "Made with ruam.ai" line at the bottom.

Is a invoice from this tool valid in the United Kingdom?

This invoice includes the details usually required in the United Kingdom. Rules change and depend on your business, so check with your accountant.

Does it work out tax for me?

It applies the rate you choose to the amounts you type. Which rate applies to what you sell is for you and your accountant to decide.

Where are my drafts and saved clients kept?

In this browser, on this device. Nothing is sent to Ruam. Clearing site data or using a private window removes them, so download the PDF of anything you need to keep.

How do I get a PDF?

Press Download PDF and choose Save as PDF in the print window. Only the invoice is printed, and the text stays selectable. If a required field is empty, it turns red and the download waits.

Can I bring in hours from a spreadsheet or time tracker?

Yes. Use Import from CSV above the totals. Columns such as date, description, hours and rate are recognized, and any bad row is listed so you can fix it. Ruam paid plans export hours as CSV by person or project.

The hours for your invoice, already counted.

Ruam counts work hours on its own, by project and client, with no screenshots. When it is time to invoice, the hours are already there.

Free forever for one person. Teams get 7 days free, no card.
