Questions

What is a proforma invoice?

A preliminary invoice sent before goods are delivered or work is done. It shows what the final invoice will be, so the buyer can arrange payment, an import permit or a bank letter. It is not a demand for payment and not a tax invoice.

What is the difference between a proforma invoice and a quotation?

Both come before the sale. A quotation offers a price the customer may accept; a proforma invoice is usually sent once they have agreed, laid out like the final invoice, often to collect an advance.

Is there a proforma invoice format in Excel or Word?

Yes. Download the free Word (.docx) or Excel (.xlsx) proforma invoice format on this page; the Excel one adds up the lines, tax and total.

Is it free?

Yes. The maker, the PDF and the Word and Excel formats are free, with no sign-up and no watermark.
