- Not separating design, development, or support hours
- Leaving the billed time ambiguous

FAQ
Common questions about creating invoice PDFs
How should I use the hourly invoice generator?
Use the quantity field for the number of hours and the amount field for the final billed amount for that line item.
Can I use more than one hourly service line?
Yes. You can separate design hours, development hours, research hours, or any other billable work into multiple rows.
Can I keep tax at zero for hourly invoices?
Yes. Tax starts at zero by default and can be changed only if your billing setup requires it.
About this tool
How to invoice hourly work
Hourly invoices should show the service clearly, the number of hours worked, and the hourly total. That makes the amount easy to verify for both you and the client.
QuillInvoice supports this by letting you use quantity as hours and amount as the final line total while still calculating tax and overall total automatically.
