Frequently asked questions

Does the Basic Invoice Template calculate totals automatically?

No — it's a Word document, so amounts are typed in manually, which keeps it simple and universally compatible. If you invoice heavily and want auto-calculation, recreate the same layout in a spreadsheet.

Can I add my logo?

Yes. Open the Word file and insert your logo at the top (Insert → Pictures). The layout leaves room in the header area.

Is the Basic Invoice Template really free?

Yes — free for personal and business use, with no signup and no watermark. You may not resell or republish the template itself, but documents you create with it are entirely yours.
