Loading replaces the current form. Save it under a different name first to keep both. Drafts include your logo and remain on this device.

Enter the amount actually received. An imported invoice does not confirm payment.

How to use this tool

  1. Enter your business name, receipt number, and date (today is pre-filled) — add your logo if you have one.
  2. Add items with quantity and price, and untick Tax for exempt items — discount, tax, shipping, and totals calculate automatically.
  3. Optionally record the payment method and amount paid to show change or balance due.
  4. 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

Line amounts round to cents before summing. The discount reduces taxable and exempt items proportionally; tax applies to the remaining taxable amount, and shipping is added afterward. 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.
