Every figure printed on this site is arithmetic on the worked example we publish: 6 fee earners, a blended charge-out rate of $280 an hour, 5.2 recorded hours each per working day, 21 working days a month. Change any of those on the worksheet and the numbers change with them. Nothing here is a market statistic and nothing is quoted from a third party.
The figures above start from a worked example ($10,819.20). Change any input and the answer updates as you type.

Law firm invoicing software is where a matter's recorded time becomes a bill somebody can query. What matters is less the template than what the bill can be traced back to: which matter, whose time, on what date, at what rate, and what was written off before it went out. This worksheet builds a bill from those parts on your own figures, so you can see what a client would see and what you would have to answer if they asked.
Enter the matter and its recorded time
Fee earner, hours, rate. The worksheet does not care how you recorded them, only that the bill can be traced back to them.
Apply the write-offs where they happened
A write-off on a line is an argument you have already had. A write-off on the total is one you are about to have. The worksheet keeps them on the line.
Print it, or keep it
Print it as it stands for a client, or keep it in the account so next month's bill on the same matter starts from this one rather than from nothing.
Law firm invoicing software: common questions
Is this a legal invoice template? It is a worksheet that produces one. The arithmetic and the traceability are the point; the layout is deliberately plain.
Does it handle disbursements? Yes, as separate lines that are not marked up, which is how most firms have to show them.
Can I use it without an account? Yes. Every worksheet on this site runs without one. The account is only for keeping the result.
