How do I add sales tax to my invoice?

Enter your state's sales tax rate in the Tax Rate (%) field under Adjustments. For example, enter 8.875 for New York or 10.25 for Chicago. The tax amount is calculated automatically.

How do I create an invoice for 1099 contract work?

Fill in your name or business name, add your services as line items, and set payment terms (Net 30 is standard). Your client will issue you a 1099-NEC at year end for payments over $600 — your invoice is your record of the work billed.

Can I invoice without an EIN?

Yes. Sole proprietors and individual freelancers can invoice using their personal name and address — no EIN required. Just enter your name in the Company / Name field. If you have an EIN, you can include it in the notes field.

Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 17, 2026

1. Overview

InvoiceNow Free ("we", "our", or "us") operates the website at invoicesnowfree.com. We are committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding that information.

The short version: InvoiceNow Free is a fully client-side application. Your invoice data never leaves your browser and is never sent to our servers.

2. Data We Do NOT Collect

We do not collect, store, or process:

Invoice content (business names, addresses, amounts, client details)
Uploaded logos or images
Any personally identifiable information you enter into the invoice form
Account credentials (there are no accounts)
Payment information

All invoice data you create is stored exclusively in your browser's localStorage. It remains on your device and is never transmitted to us.

3. Data We Do Collect

3.1 Analytics (Google Analytics 4)

We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand how visitors use our site. GA4 may collect:

Pages visited and time spent on each page
Referring website or search engine
General geographic location (country/region level only)
Device type and browser information
Anonymised interaction events (e.g., "PDF downloaded", "invoice saved")

GA4 data is anonymised — no invoice content, names, or amounts are ever included in analytics events. You can opt out via the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

3.2 Cookies

We do not set any first-party cookies. Google Analytics may set its own cookies (_ga, _ga_*) to distinguish users and sessions. These cookies contain no invoice or personal data.

3.3 Server Logs

Our hosting provider (Vercel) may automatically log standard web server data such as IP addresses, request timestamps, and HTTP status codes for security and performance monitoring. These logs are retained according to Vercel's own privacy policy.

4. How Your Invoice Data Is Stored

All invoices are saved in your browser's localStorage under the key invoicely_invoices. This data:

Stays entirely on your device
Is never uploaded to our servers
Is lost if you clear your browser data
Is not synced across devices

5. Shareable Invoice Links

When you use the "Share" feature, your invoice data is encoded into a URL parameter (?d=) using base64url encoding.

Important: Anyone with the link can view the invoice. Only share these links with the intended recipient. We do not store or log share links or their contents.

6. Third-Party Services

Google Analytics 4 — usage analytics. Google Privacy Policy
Vercel — website hosting. Vercel Privacy Policy

7. Children's Privacy

InvoiceNow Free is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
