Expense Reimbursement template
An expense reimbursement form built around the receipt: category, purchase date, total amount, and an upload that takes up to 10 files — photos or PDFs — in one go. Employees submit once, finance gets everything it needs, and approved expenses ride the next payroll run.

What’s inside
The questions this template ships with — rename, reorder, or delete any of them in the builder.
When to use this template
- A startup drowning in receipts forwarded by email, Slack DM, and one crumpled paper handed to the office manager
- A sales team back from a conference with a week of meals, rideshares, and a client dinner to file in a single submission
- A nonprofit that reimburses volunteers for supplies and needs a paper trail its treasurer can export at year-end
- A company without expense software that wants structured submissions before it's big enough for Expensify
Tips to get more from it
- The receipt upload allows up to 10 files at 10 MB each and accepts any file type — phone photos and emailed PDF invoices both work. Raise maxFiles in the field editor if your travelers file monthly batches.
- The amount field is a number field with a note to use the receipt's currency. If you only reimburse in USD, say so in the description to save finance a conversion step.
- Edit the category dropdown to mirror your accounting codes — matching categories to your chart of accounts makes the CSV export drop straight into your books.
- The 'what was it for' long-text asks for one line per item. Keep that phrasing; itemized answers are the difference between instant approval and a follow-up email.
Questions people ask
How many receipts can an employee attach?
Up to 10 files per submission, 10 MB each, in any format — photos, PDFs, or scans. The limits are editable on the file field.
Can I export expenses for my accountant?
Yes. Every response exports as CSV with the category, date, amount, and description columns intact, and uploaded receipts are downloadable from each response.
Is this expense form free, and is there a catch?
No catch — unlimited forms and 500 responses a month on the free plan, no card required. If your team files more than 500 expenses monthly, Pro ($14.99/mo) lifts that to 5,000.
