How to use this tool
- Enter your business name, receipt number, and date (today is pre-filled) — add your logo if you have one.
- Add items with quantity and price — discount, tax, and totals calculate automatically.
- Optionally record the payment method and amount paid to show change or balance due.
- Print or save the finished receipt as a PDF, and save a draft on your device to reuse the setup next time.
How it works
The receipt totals work like a point-of-sale slip: items sum to a subtotal, tax is applied at your rate, and if you enter an amount paid the tool shows change (when overpaid) or balance due (when underpaid).
A receipt documents a completed payment — keep a copy for your records and give one to the customer. For requesting payment before it's made, use the Invoice Generator instead: many small businesses send an invoice first, then issue a receipt from the same details once it's paid.
To make a receipt for a simple sale: business name, today's date, one line item with the price, the payment method, and the total. That's a complete, valid receipt — everything else (logo, discount, customer name, receipt numbering) is optional polish this tool adds when you need it.
Frequently asked questions
What should a receipt include?
Business name, date, a receipt number, itemized purchases with prices, tax, the total, and the payment method. Adding your address and a return policy is good practice for retail.
Receipt vs invoice — which do I need?
Use an invoice to request payment, and a receipt to confirm payment happened. Many small businesses issue an invoice first, then a receipt once it's paid.
Can I use this for cash sales?
Yes — choose Cash as the payment method and enter the amount tendered; the receipt will show the change due.
