Invoice guide · theHinvoicer

A naira invoice template you can use for your next project

Start with a clear description of the work, who owes the money, how much is due and when to pay. Here is a worked example for a Nigerian freelancer, plus a checklist you can copy.

What to put on your invoice

  • Your business name, contact details and logo if you use one.
  • The client's billing name and contact details.
  • A unique invoice number, issue date and payment due date.
  • Specific line items, quantities, unit prices and the currency (NGN).
  • Subtotal, any applicable tax or discount, payments received and remaining balance.
  • Payment instructions and an invoice reference the client can include.

For tax information, use the details applicable to your business. This sample illustrates an ordinary service invoice; it does not establish tax registration, a tax rate or compliance with a regulated electronic invoicing system.

Worked example: a design project

This is a fictional invoice for illustration, with no tax or discount applied. Replace the details with your own.

Make the PDF and send it

In theHinvoicer, create an account, save your business details, add a client and enter the line items. The app calculates the totals and generates the PDF. You can email it or share a link on WhatsApp. Your client can open the link without an account.

After a deposit or partial payment, record the amount so your next follow-up refers to the remaining balance. A receipt acknowledges money received; an invoice requests payment for the work.
