Whether you're a freelance designer, a consultant, a photographer, or a sole trader, getting paid on time starts with sending a clear, professional invoice. InvoiceLoom's free invoice generator lets you create a polished, client-ready invoice in under two minutes — no software subscription, no account, no hassle.
An invoice generator is an online tool that helps you build a formatted invoice document without needing accounting software like QuickBooks or Xero. You simply fill in your business details, client information, the services or products you provided, and the amounts owed. The tool formats everything into a professional layout that you can print or download as a PDF.
For freelancers and small businesses operating in the US and UK, sending a proper invoice is also important for record-keeping, tax purposes, and appearing credible to clients — especially when you're just starting out.
A professional invoice should always include: your business name and contact details, the client's name and address, a unique invoice number, an issue date and a clear due date, an itemised list of services or products, subtotal, tax (if applicable), and the total amount owed. It should also include payment instructions — bank details, PayPal, or whichever method you accept.
Using a consistent invoice format builds trust with clients and makes your payment follow-ups much easier. If a client queries a charge, having a numbered, itemised invoice on record protects you.
In the United States, freelancers typically don't charge sales tax on services (though this varies by state), but they do need records for quarterly estimated tax filings. In the UK, if your annual turnover is above £90,000, you are legally required to register for VAT and include it on your invoices. Our tool supports both scenarios with a flexible tax rate field.

Get a fast, free self employed tax estimate based on your income, expenses, and tax rate. No signup needed.
One of the biggest financial shocks for new freelancers and self-employed workers is the first tax bill. Unlike employed workers who have tax deducted at source through PAYE (UK) or W-2 withholding (US), self-employed people are responsible for calculating and paying their own taxes. This tool gives you a clear estimate so you can plan ahead, set money aside, and avoid any nasty surprises.
A self-employed tax estimator calculates your approximate income tax liability based on your gross income, deductible business expenses, and the applicable tax rate for your country. It's not a substitute for professional tax advice or official tax software — but it's a fast, free way to understand roughly what you'll owe and how much to save from each invoice you receive.
In the US, self-employed workers must also pay Self-Employment (SE) tax — 15.3% of net earnings — in addition to regular income tax. This covers Social Security and Medicare contributions that an employer would otherwise pay on your behalf. Our calculator includes this in your estimate when you select the US option.
In both the US and UK, self-employed workers can deduct legitimate business costs from their taxable income. Common deductible expenses include: professional software and subscriptions, equipment and tools used for work, a proportion of phone and internet bills, work-related travel, professional development and training, and a portion of home office costs if you work from home. Deducting these reduces your taxable income and therefore your tax bill — which is why accurate expense tracking is so valuable.
Want to keep on top of your income? Use our free invoice generator to track every payment you receive from clients.
Use this free freelance tax withholding calculator to find out exactly how much to set aside from every payment — and never get caught short at tax time.
One of the most common financial mistakes freelancers make is spending money they should have held back for taxes. Unlike employees, no one deducts tax from your payments automatically. Every time you receive money from a client, a portion of it already belongs to the government — you just haven't paid it yet. This calculator tells you exactly how much to transfer to a savings account every time a payment lands.
For self-employed workers, "withholding" refers to the practice of voluntarily setting aside a percentage of each payment you receive to cover future tax obligations. It mimics what employers do for salaried staff — the key difference is that you have to do it yourself. Most financial advisors recommend that US freelancers set aside between 25–35% of gross income; UK freelancers typically need to reserve 20–40% depending on their tax band and National Insurance class.
Getting this wrong is expensive. If you spend money you should have saved for taxes, you'll face a large bill when you file — and potentially interest or penalties if you miss quarterly estimated tax payments in the US.
A simple rule of thumb many freelancers use is to set aside 30% of every payment received. This covers federal income tax and self-employment tax for most US freelancers earning between $40,000–$100,000. If you're in a higher bracket or a high-tax state, bump this to 35–40%. For UK freelancers on the basic rate band, 25–30% is usually sufficient to cover income tax and Class 4 NI. Our calculator gives you a personalised figure rather than a rough estimate.
Once you know what you're setting aside, make sure you're tracking it accurately. Try our invoice generator to record every payment and maintain clear financial records.
Use our free business loan calculator to work out repayment amounts, total interest, and the true cost of any business loan — instantly.
Taking out a business loan is a significant financial decision. Whether you're borrowing to buy equipment, hire staff, cover a cash flow gap, or expand your operations, knowing exactly what you'll repay each month — and how much interest you'll pay in total — is essential before signing any agreement. Our free business loan repayment calculator gives you all the numbers you need in seconds.
Our calculator uses the standard amortisation formula used by banks and lenders worldwide. For any loan, you'll see: your fixed monthly repayment amount, the total amount you'll repay over the term, the total interest cost (the true cost of borrowing), and the outstanding balance over time. These numbers let you compare loan offers from different lenders on equal terms.
This calculator assumes a fixed interest rate — meaning your monthly payment stays the same for the entire loan term. Many business loans work this way. Variable-rate loans have payments that fluctuate with market interest rates; if you have a variable loan, use your current rate to get an estimate, but be aware that payments may change.
Always read the full terms of any loan agreement carefully, including any origination fees, early repayment penalties, or balloon payments, as these are not included in this calculation.
Create a professional freelance contract agreement template covering scope, payment, and terms — in under a minute, free.
Every freelance project should begin with a written contract. It might feel awkward to ask a client to sign an agreement — especially if you have a friendly working relationship — but a contract protects both parties. It defines what you'll deliver, when, for how much, and what happens if things go wrong. Without one, disagreements about scope, payment, or revisions can quickly become expensive problems.
A freelance contract (also called a freelance service agreement or independent contractor agreement) is a legally structured document between you and a client that sets out the terms of your working relationship. It's not employment — it's a project-based agreement that protects your rights as an independent contractor while giving clients clarity on deliverables and timelines.
A solid freelance contract covers: scope of work and deliverables, project timeline and milestones, payment terms and fee structure, intellectual property ownership, revision policy, cancellation and kill fee terms, confidentiality expectations, and what happens in case of dispute.
This generator produces a structured, professional service agreement that covers the most important elements of a freelance engagement. However, it is a template — not attorney-reviewed legal advice. For small projects under $5,000, it provides solid basic protection. For high-value contracts, complex IP situations, or international clients, we strongly recommend having a lawyer review or draft your contract. You can also explore services like LegalZoom for professionally drafted agreements.
Once you've secured the contract and the deposit, use our invoice generator to send your first invoice — and our tax withholding calculator to know exactly how much to set aside from that first payment.
