Invoice Generator for Nigeria

Nigerian freelancers, agencies, and small businesses bill a mix of local clients in naira and foreign clients in dollars — often in the same week. Speed Invoices handles both: build the invoice online, add your logo, and download a professional PDF. Free, no signup, and your data stays private in your browser.

The essentials of a Nigerian invoice

• Your details — business name, address, and your TIN (Tax Identification Number).
• Your client's details — name and address, plus their TIN for business clients.
• Invoice number and dates — a sequential number, the issue date, and a due date.
• Line items — a clear description of each service or product, quantity, and rate.
• VAT — shown as a separate line where it applies, never hidden in the price.
• Total due and payment details — bank account or however you collect payment.

VAT at 7.5% — a quick example

Nigeria's VAT rate is 7.5%. Billing a Lagos client ₦800,000 for a software project:

• Software development: ₦800,000
• VAT (7.5%): +₦60,000
• Total: ₦860,000

In Speed Invoices, set the currency to NGN (₦), add a custom "VAT 7.5%" tax line, and the totals calculate automatically — with discounts handled the same way.

Getting paid from abroad

Much of Nigeria's tech and creative work is for clients in the US, UK, and Europe, usually billed in USD or GBP. Switch the invoice currency — 46 are supported — pick one of 7 date formats to match the client's convention, and download the PDF. A clean, correctly formatted invoice gets through a foreign client's accounts-payable process a lot faster than a bank transfer note.
