A receipt is a business record confirming money changed hands: who paid, who received, for what, when, and how much. Landlords issue rent receipts, freelancers issue payment receipts, shops issue sales receipts, nonprofits issue donation receipts. The formula is simple:
Total received = (Quantity × Price) summed over all items, plus tax
EU sellers and freelancers often add VAT (20% in the UK, 19–27% across the EU); US sellers add sales tax by state. Set any label and rate you need — the math is done for you.
| Line | Amount |
|---|---|
| Rent — October 2026 | £950.00 |
| Parking space | £60.00 |
| Subtotal | £1,010.00 |
| VAT (20%) | £202.00 |
| Total received | £1,212.00 |

Making a receipt for a payment you actually received is completely fine. Presenting a generated receipt as proof of a payment that never happened is fraud — issue receipts only for real money received.
A receipt is a business record, not a substitute for official tax invoices. If your jurisdiction requires numbered VAT invoices, use our invoice generator or your accounting software.
The form lives only in this tab and clears on refresh — download each receipt before you leave.

Yes. Set any tax label (VAT, GST, sales tax) and any percentage; the receipt computes tax on the subtotal and shows the total received. Useful for EU landlords and freelancers who invoice with VAT.
Yes — every generated PDF carries a green PAID stamp at the top, plus the receipt number, date and payment method, so both sides have a clear record that the money changed hands.
Making a receipt for a payment you genuinely received is completely fine — that is what receipts are for. Presenting a generated receipt as proof of a payment that never happened is fraud. Issue receipts only for real payments.
