Proforma invoice generator (TR/EN)

Why use it

A proforma invoice is not a sale — it is an offer document. It has no fiscal value and does not enter the accounts. But exporters are asked for one constantly: to open a letter of credit, for a customs pre-declaration, or to request advance payment.

The irritating part is that the other side usually does not read Turkish. Send a single-language document and the "what is this line" correspondence begins. This tool prints bilingually: every label carries its English underneath, so one copy serves both sides.

It does not lump VAT into one line. If line items carry different rates, each rate gets its own row — that is the only way the buyer and the accountant can check the figure.

How to use it

How the calculation works

For each line, in order: - **Gross** = quantity × unit price - **Discount amount** = gross × discount ÷ 100 - **Taxable amount** = gross − discount amount - **VAT** = taxable amount × VAT rate ÷ 100 - **Line total** = taxable amount + VAT In the document totals the taxable amounts are summed, while VAT is grouped **per rate**. The grand total is the sum of the taxable total and the VAT total. The discount is applied **before** VAT; that is the correct order in Türkiye. Adding VAT first and discounting afterwards produces a wrong taxable base. When the amount is written in words, the fractional part is read as two digits: 0.50 is "fifty kuruş", not "five".

Example

A proforma with two lines: 100 units × 25.00 with a 10% discount at 20% VAT, and 5 units × 400.00 with no discount at 10% VAT. - First line: gross 2,500.00 → discount 250.00 → taxable 2,250.00 → VAT 20% = 450.00 - Second line: gross 2,000.00 → taxable 2,000.00 → VAT 10% = 200.00 Document: subtotal 4,500.00 · discount 250.00 · taxable 4,250.00 · VAT 10% 200.00 · VAT 20% 450.00 · **total 4,900.00 TRY**.
