How to make a GST bill with this maker
Fill in your shop once
Shop name, address, mobile and GSTIN if you are registered. They stay in your browser for the next bill.
Add the customer
Name and mobile number (needed for WhatsApp). For a business buyer, add their GSTIN. Leave empty for a walk-in customer.
Pick the GST setting
Clothes rule (5% up to ₹2,500 a piece, 18% above), one rate for every item, or a bill without GST. Say whether your prices are MRP with GST or before GST.
Type the items
Name, HSN (optional), quantity and the price of one piece. Change GST on a line if that item has its own rate, such as a belt at 18%.
Print, save or send
Print on A4 or an 80 mm / 58 mm thermal printer, choose “Save as PDF”, or send the bill as a WhatsApp message to the customer’s number.
Worked example: a clothing shop bill with 5% and 18%
Priya buys two cotton shirts with an MRP of ₹999 each and a blazer with an MRP of ₹3,000. The tags already include GST, so the bill total is the sum of the tags: ₹4,998. The GST inside it is different for each item:
| Item | One piece without GST | Rate | Taxable value | CGST + SGST |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cotton shirt × 2 (₹1,998) | ₹951.43: ₹2,500 or less | 5% | ₹1,902.86 | ₹47.57 + ₹47.57 |
| Blazer × 1 (₹3,000) | ₹2,542.37: above ₹2,500 | 18% | ₹2,542.37 | ₹228.82 + ₹228.81 |
| Bill | ₹4,445.23 | ₹552.77 GST in total |
If the same prices were before GST, the shop would add GST on top: ₹1,998 + 5% = ₹2,097.90 and ₹3,000 + 18% = ₹3,540, so the customer pays ₹5,638 (rounded). Here is the bill the maker draws for the MRP version:
