How to Format an Invoice

A well-formatted invoice is scannable in seconds: business details at the top, client and invoice metadata on the right, a clean line-item table, and totals at the bottom.

Recommended invoice format:

  • Header: logo, business name, ABN, contact details
  • Title: "Invoice" or "Tax Invoice" (if GST registered)
  • Meta block: invoice number, issue date, due date
  • Bill-to block: client name and address
  • Table columns: Description | Qty | Unit price | Amount
  • Totals block: Subtotal, GST, Total due (right-aligned)
  • Footer: payment methods, bank details, thank-you note

Use consistent fonts, adequate white space, and right-aligned numbers in the line-item table. InvoiceSonic templates follow this layout by default.
