How to Create an Invoice

21 July 2026 • MyBillDash Team

Creating an invoice in MyBillDash takes less than a minute once your client is saved. Here's the full walkthrough.

Step 1 — Click "New Invoice"

From the dashboard or the Invoices section, click + New Invoice.

Step 2 — Select Your Client

Start typing the client's name in the Client field and select them from the dropdown. Their billing address fills in automatically.

If this is a new client, click Add new client to create them on the spot.

Step 3 — Set the Invoice Date and Due Date

The invoice date defaults to today. Set a Due Date — e.g. 14 or 30 days from today — so your client knows when payment is expected.

Step 4 — Add Line Items

Click Add Item and fill in:

  • Description — what you did or supplied
  • Quantity — hours, units, or just 1
  • Unit price — rate per unit
  • GST — tick if this item is taxable (15% for NZ, 10% for AU)

The line total and invoice total update automatically. Add as many items as you need.

Step 5 — Add a Note (optional)

Use the Notes field for anything your client needs to know — payment instructions, project reference numbers, or a thank-you message.

Step 6 — Save and Send

Click Save Invoice to save a draft, or Save & Send to email it to your client straight away. You can also download a PDF to send yourself.
