A ten (10) day payment due invoice is useful when a service, membership, production, or delivery must be paid for in a relatively short period of time and the Issuing Business Entity or Contractor wishes the appropriate language employed to secure timely payment. Every Recipient of such a document is generally entitled to some basic details that support the payment request along with its deadline. Therefore, make sure that your files for the account being dealt with are in order so that you may transcribe several pieces of information (i.e. the Customer and Customer Order). If the Issuing Business Entity or Contractor is sending this invoice to seek funds from a previously unpaid invoice, then make sure to also have that unpaid document’s information handy. Once you have completed your paperwork, take a moment to save a copy in a readily accessible folder and print a hard copy for your files before dispensing it.

Step 1 – Save The Invoice On this Page To Request Payment Within 10 Days
A ten-day payment deadline is imposed with the invoice available through this page, you may download it as a PDF or Microsoft Word document using the button bearing the “PDF” or “Word” label. The links preceding these instructions, labeled as “Adobe PDF” and “Microsoft Word…” respectively, can also deliver either of these file versions.
Step 2 – An Introduction Of The Invoice Sender Must Be Made
The initial requirements of this invoice will center upon its Company of origin. This is the Business Entity, Sole Proprietorship, or Freelancer intent on obtaining payment within ten days. Seek out the words “Company Name.” Delete these words, then type the exact Business, Sole Proprietorship, or Freelancer name of the Invoice Sender in its place. The “Name” of the individual seeking payment on behalf of the above-named Business Entity, sole Proprietorship, Or Freelancer must also be recorded on the first empty line after the Entity Name you supplied.
A report on the “Street Address,” “City, State,” and “Country” making up this Sender’s mailing address must be submitted on the next two lines.
A complete address should be displayed, thus, follow through with the appropriate postal code. The “Zip Code” line will accept this information.
This section will, generally, be expected to conclude with alternate address items. The “Phone” line is set for a display of the current Office or Business line used by the Sender to communicate with Consumers while the last line here requests the “E-Mail” address maintained for this purpose.
Step 3 – Display The References Material Defining This Request For Payment And The Deadline
A necessary tool for the discussion of this paperwork is its “Invoice #.” This filing or document number must be attached as a tracking mechanism for this invoice and its status in the bookkeeping system storing it. Enter this information on the first line in the shaded bar dividing this page. The invoice “Date” that defines the first formal calendar day the Consumer’s payment is requested. The second blank space available in this section is reserved for your report on this calendar day.
Step 4 – Furnish The Consumer’s Name And Billing Information
The Consumer who will be held to the time-sensitive invoice payment should be clearly identified. Report the full name of this person or Business on the “Name” line (under “Bill To”). Following the “Name” line will be three address labeled lines. Furnish their contents with the Consumer “Street Address” and “City, State Country” as well as the postal code (“Zip Code”) designated to this mailing address.
Step 5 – Report The Items Making Up The Customer Order
A general expectation of your Consumers, Clientele, and Customers will be a basic account or summary of the order you expect them to pay for. The Consumer order causing this paperwork may be a service assignment where only physical work must be billed or it may be a request for a certain number of the Business Entity, Sole Proprietor or Freelancer’s products. The “Description” box in the center of this document shall accept the details making up any such order. Keep in mind that if a contract is involved, then its title and date should be reported in this box.
Step 6 – Deliver The Pricing Summary For This Invoice
We shall continue satisfying some general expectations of the Invoice Recipient by producing a basic list of the costs for the ordered products/services provided by the Business Entity, Sole Proprietor, or Freelancer. The “Amount” box has an ideal position on this page for this purpose. Record these dollar values to its contents. In addition to the basic costs we listed, we will have to supply three additional items to this column. Begin by summing up all values in “Amount” then show the result in the “Subtotal” box.
Before we conclude this table, we are required to make a report of all taxes that will be applied to the above “Subtotal.” Calculate this value using the applicable tax codes imposed by all Tax Entities concerned with this transaction. Once done, enter the total amount of taxes in the “Tax/VAT” box under “Subtotal.”
The “Total” payment expected of the Consumer will be the exact sum of the calculated “Subtotal” and “Tax/VAT” values. Display this result in the final box of the “Amount” column.
Step 7 – Give The Consumer The Exact Due Date
The final calendar day when the Consumer can submit payment on time should be produced for display on the blank space that follows the statement “This Payment Is Due Within…”
Step 8 – Comments Regarding The Deadline Or Invoice Information Presented Is Needed
If your invoice report should continue with additional topics, then use the “Comments Or Special Instructions” lines to include the content your Client expects.
How to Write in Excel
Download: Microsoft Excel (.xlsx)
Step 1 – Save The Ten-Day Payment Due Invoice From This Page
The previewed template will also display an “Excel” button in its caption. Select this button (or the above link) to save this spreadsheet to your machine.
Step 2 – Assign Your Business Entity As The Invoice Sender Or Payee
This spreadsheet will open with a basic request; to identify the Payment Seeker behind it. Cell A1, in the top left corner of the sheet, will expect an upload of the logo used by the Company or Business seeking payment in ten days. The next cell down, cell A2, is formatted to display the formal or legal name of the Invoicing Company in a prominent font. Record this “Company Name” as requested.
After the logo and name of the Invoicing Company, we must supply the “Name” of the Payment Seeker working on behalf of this entity to obtain payment.
The “Street Address” and “City, State, Country” fields in cell A4 and cell A5 refer to the Invoicing Company’s mailing address. These items should be entered accordingly.
Now, record the “E-Mail” address and “Phone” number needed to reach Payment Seeker or Invoicing Company directly by entering them directly in cell A7 and cell A8 (respectively).
Step 3 – Attach This Document To Its Definitive Filing Information
A brief table in the top right will seek two items entered into its contents. Begin with cell F4. Delete the text here then replace it with the “Invoice #” attached to this document, its status, and the deadline. The field to the right, cell H4, contains the current “Date” that you are working on this invoice. You may use this content as the formal invoice “Date” payment is requested or you may substitute a more appropriate calendar day.
Step 4 – Address The Payer Under Deadline Obligation
This spreadsheet will now require more attention in column A. Seek out cell A11 in the “Bill To” section, then input the “Name” of the Client it is targeting for payment in ten days.
In addition to the Recipient’s full “Name,” we will need to record his or her billing address. The “Street Address” and “City, State, Country” of the targeted Recipient’s billing address must be presented in cell A12 and A13.
Step 5 – Detail The Services Or Goods Requiring Client Payment
This invoice’s demand on its Recipient will need to be justified with a basic account of what is being paid for. Here, the goods, services, or contracts that must be paid for within the ten-day timeline should be defined. It is recommended that a common frame of reference be used. For instance, if the Customer order consisted of the Invoice Sender’s products, then name each ordered item and provide the quantity. Similarly, a contract or service should have its title and effective date recorded. Furnish a record of these items as requested in cell A17 (“Description”). Many ten-day invoices will seek payment for a service or a trial run on a product or a group of products. If this is the case, make sure to name both the service and the product as well as the contract.
Step 6 – Account For The Dollar Amount Due In Ten Days
Column H is the adjacent column set in this table. The first field in this column, titled “Amount,” is located in cell H17. A production of the dollar “Amount” expected by the Invoice Sender for the items you reported in the “Description” field should be produced in this cell. Cell H18 which corresponds to the “Subtotal” label is reserved for the sum of all the dollar amounts that you reported as owed (n cell H17).
The “Tax/VAT” field (cell H19) expects the full amount of taxes that must be added to “Subtotal” be reported next. Needless to say, it is imperative that you know which, if any, tax rates your Local/State Government (i.e. sales, service, etc.) or Federal Government (i.e. value-added tax) must be applied. Calculate each applicable tax amount required, add them together (if more than one), then input this figure in cell H19.
Finally, we have arrived at the final cell of this table’s column. Furnish the “Total” field, in cell H20, with the sum of the “Subtotal” dollar amount and the “Tax/VAT” amount that will be added.
Step 7 – Solidify The Due Date For The Client
Cell A21 will give you a distinct area where you can declare one specific calendar day as “Due Date” when payment must be received or be subject to further attempts at collection. Replace the “Insert Due Date” with the appropriate calendar month, day, and year.
Step 8 – Continue Discussing The Deadline Or The Invoice It Applies To
While this invoice has met the minimum requirements for completion, you may continue with additional material. To do so, locate the area immediately after “Comments And Special Instructions” then supply the additional content.
