Step-by-step: download invoices from GitHub
- 1
Open your billing settings
Sign in to github.com and go to Settings → Billing and plans. For a personal account, the direct URL is github.com/settings/billing. For an organization, use github.com/organizations/<org-name>/settings/billing. Organization invoices are separate from personal ones.
- 2
Go to the Payment information section
Within Billing and plans, click Payment information (or scroll to it on the billing overview page). There you will find Past receipts or Past invoices, depending on whether you pay monthly by card or via invoiced billing for Enterprise.
- 3
Download each receipt or invoice
Click the View button next to any receipt or the Download link next to any invoice. The PDF opens in the browser. GitHub issues one document per billing cycle (monthly or yearly) that covers the plan charge plus any usage overages (Actions minutes, Codespaces hours, Packages storage).
About GitHub billing
GitHub's billing is split down the middle: personal accounts pay by card and get receipts, organizations can pay by card or invoice, and Enterprise customers have their own admin portal. Depending on where you pay, the PDF you download is either a receipt or a proper invoice.
Accountants sometimes refuse GitHub receipts because they do not look like formal invoices (no invoice number in the classic format). For strict compliance jurisdictions, contact GitHub support and ask for an invoiced-billing setup for your organization. It is available on Team plans in some cases, and always on Enterprise.
About GitHub
GitHub, owned by Microsoft since 2018, is the world's largest code hosting and developer collaboration platform. Beyond git hosting, it sells paid plans with private repositories, Actions (CI/CD), Codespaces (cloud dev environments), Packages, and Copilot (AI code completion). Plans range from Free to Enterprise Cloud and Enterprise Server. Billing is monthly or yearly, card-based for most customers and invoiced for Enterprise. Organizations are billed separately from the personal accounts of their members.
Manual vs automated
Manual
- Sign in to GitHub with 2FA
- Open personal Settings → Billing
- Download each receipt
- Switch to each organization Settings → Billing
- Download org receipts
- Reconcile Actions and Copilot charges separately
Automated with Inbox Ledger
- Connect GitHub once to Inbox Ledger
- Personal and org receipts appear in one dashboard
- Export to Drive, Sheets, or accounting tools
Why people stop doing this by hand
A solo developer on GitHub Pro with no organizations? The receipt emails arrive, you save them to a folder, done. The moment you add an organization for your company, another for a side project, a third for a client, and turn on Copilot for the team, you have four or five receipts streams per month. Quarter-close meetings start with "wait, did we forget the Copilot invoice again?"
Enterprise admins have it slightly better with the centralized billing portal, but the per-org split still creates extra hunting for organizations that predate the Enterprise consolidation.
GitHub is one of the portals our Chrome Extension auto-detects. Install it, visit the billing settings for any account or organization, and the extension picks up new receipts and invoices in the background. Works across personal and organization contexts.
Next step
One personal Pro plan, one organization on Team, billing email pointed at finance: manual is fine. Multiple orgs, Enterprise across entities, Copilot Business on top of it: connect GitHub once and keep every receipt in one place.
Where to look in the dashboard
- Settings → Billing and plans (personal) is github.com/settings/billing
- Organizations → <org> → Settings → Billing and plans for org invoices
- Payment information holds Past receipts and Past invoices
- Usage this month shows current Actions and Codespaces consumption
- Enterprise admins have a dedicated billing area at github.com/enterprises/<enterprise>/billing
Before you start — quick checklist
- Receipt is addressed to the correct account (personal vs organization)
- Your plan (Free, Pro, Team, Enterprise) is correctly stated
- Actions minutes and storage overages are itemized if you used paid runners
- Copilot Business or Copilot Enterprise charges appear as separate lines or separate invoices
- Marketplace app subscriptions (if billed through GitHub) are included
Pro tips
- GitHub splits personal and organization billing completely. If you pay for a personal Pro plan and also manage an organization with a Team plan, you have two separate billing surfaces and two separate PDF streams.
- GitHub Actions usage is billed on top of plan quotas. Private repositories consume minutes from your plan, and excess usage is invoiced separately. Keep an eye on the Usage tab to avoid surprises.
- Copilot Business billing shows up under the organization's billing page, not on individual developer accounts. Copilot Individual goes to the personal account.
- Invoiced billing (wire transfer, annual billing) is only available for Enterprise accounts. Everyone else pays by card and gets a receipt rather than a formal invoice.
- GitHub Marketplace apps (Codecov, Sentry integrations, etc.) may bill through GitHub or directly. Check the app's billing setting to know which path applies.
