A consulting invoice template for day rates and hours.
The consulting setup multiplies quantity by rate on each line, so a day rate or an hourly rate works. It charges VAT at 20% by default, prints a client reference for their purchase order, numbers invoices C-001 onwards and sets the due date at 14 days.
- Excel 2016 and later
- Calculations checked in LibreOffice and Google Sheets
- Set the invoiceChoose the currency, the heading, the number prefix and 8, 12 or 20 lines. Set days to pay and any other terms to print.
- Choose tax and extrasSwitch on tax with a name and rate, a tax or company number, a discount, a deposit already paid, or a client reference. Add the tracker and Clients sheet.
- Download and invoiceType your details and the lines on the Invoice sheet, then add the invoice to the Invoice Tracker. Totals and the due date are worked out.

Questions
Are my builder entries sent to Due Form?
No. The builder uses them in your browser to make the workbook on your device.
Information is sent to Due Form when you submit a form or use another service described on the How it works page.
Can I use a tax name other than VAT?
Yes. Choose VAT, GST, Sales tax or Tax, and a rate from 0% to 25%. The rate applies to lines where the tax cell is left blank.
Can one line have a different rate?
Yes. Type a rate in the tax cell on that line, for example 0, and it overrides the standard rate for that line only.
