How to create an invoice online
Three steps from blank page to a professional PDF.
Step 1
Add your business and client details
Fill in who's billing and who's paying — that's the minimum a legally solid invoice needs.
- Your business and tax details — Use the business details and any tax identifier required for your location.
- Bill-to client details — Name is enough to start — add billing and service addresses for bigger jobs.
- Invoice number & dates — Auto-generated number, issue date and due date — editable if you have your own system.
Step 2
Add line items — watch the invoice build itself
Every line you type appears instantly in a live preview of the finished invoice.
- Itemised lines with qty × price — Clear descriptions get approved (and paid) faster than lump sums.
- Totals calculated automatically — Subtotal, applicable tax and total update as you type — no broken spreadsheet formulas.
Step 3
Download, send, and get paid
Grab a clean PDF or email it directly. Your payment details go right on the invoice.
- Interpreter payment instructions — Use the correct business payment details and check any provider fees.
- Professional PDF, no watermark — A real record for your accountant, tax time, and any dispute.

What agencies check on an interpreter invoice
Interpreting invoices are usually approved against a booking record. Make every assignment easy to match.
The assignment cannot be matched
Include the booking or job reference, date, location or platform, language pair and the client or department — agencies often reject invoices without a job number.
Minimums and extra time are not shown
Many assignments carry a minimum charge and billing increments after it. Show scheduled and actual times so the billed hours make sense.
Travel and cancellations get dropped
Travel time, mileage, parking and late-cancellation fees are only paid when they appear as separate lines tied to the agreed terms.

Interpreter invoice FAQ
What should an interpreter invoice include?
Your name or business, tax ID if required, invoice number and date, the client or agency, booking reference, assignment date and times, location or video platform, language pair, type of interpreting, billed hours and rate, minimum charge, travel or mileage, parking, cancellation fees, the total and payment details.
Do interpreters charge by the hour or per assignment?
Most interpreters bill by the hour with a minimum per assignment — often two hours for on-site work — plus billing increments after that. Conference interpreting is commonly billed by the half day or full day. Use the terms agreed in the booking and show the same units on your invoice.
How do I bill a late cancellation?
If your terms include a cancellation policy — for example the full minimum when an assignment is cancelled within 24 or 48 hours — invoice it as a separate line with the original booking date and the date the cancellation was received.
Can I bill translation on the same invoice?
Yes. Add translation as its own line billed per word or per page, with the word count and rate, separate from interpreting hours.
Do court and medical interpreters use a different invoice?
Courts, hospitals and government agencies often supply their own forms or require fields such as a case or patient reference. Check their requirements first; otherwise this template covers the standard details.
