Free bill format

A simple bill for shops, traders, and service businesses. Add your items, and the total and the amount in words are worked out for you. Download a PDF, send it on WhatsApp, or print it. There is no signup.

Use this bill format

What a bill should show

  • Your business name, address, and phone number
  • A bill number and the date
  • The customer’s name
  • Each item, with the quantity, rate, and amount
  • The total, and the total in words
  • A signature by you or your authorised signatory

Cash bills and credit bills

If the customer pays on the spot, record the payment, and the bill shows it as paid. You can make a receipt from it too. If they will pay later, the bill stays in your book as unpaid until you record the payment, so you always know who owes you.

Instead of a bill book

A printed bill book keeps a carbon copy of every bill. Slipbook keeps the copy for you, numbered in order, and you can find any bill by the customer’s name. Print on A4, or on a small receipt printer by changing the paper size in the Design tab.

Change it to suit you

Open the Design tab to rename the title, such as “Cash Bill” or “Cash Memo”, pick a layout and a font, or add columns such as a unit. In Settings, change the number to start with what you like, such as BILL-.

If you are registered for GST, use the GST invoice format instead. It shows your GSTIN, the HSN codes, and CGST and SGST, or IGST.

Only if you are registered for GST. Then use the GST invoice format, which has the details a tax invoice needs.

Slipbook makes a PDF, an image, or a printout, which look the same on every phone and printer. It does not make Excel or Word files. You can export your records to a spreadsheet from Settings.
