What a good estimate or quote contains
A customer should be able to read the document and know what will be done, what it will cost, what could change the price and how long the price stands. That means a line for each piece of work, a clear total, any tax, optional extras shown separately, exclusions and an expiry date. A quote also needs a place for the customer to accept it.
The most common source of disputes is scope: the customer thought something was included and it was not. The exclusions box exists for that reason. Anything you would charge extra for if you found it on the job belongs there.
Worked example: a painting quote
A painter quotes a living room: walls 42 square metres at $9 (example rate) is $378, ceiling 1 job at $180, and preparation and filling 1 job at $90, giving $648 before tax. Painting the door frames is added as an optional extra at $120. With the Quote toggle on, the total reads "Quoted price", the small print says the price is fixed for the work described until the expiry date, and there is a line for the customer to sign and date.
If the customer signs and returns the PDF, both sides have the same written scope. Anything outside it, such as repairing cracked plaster, goes in the exclusions list and is priced separately.
From quote to website
The services you price every week are the services your website should explain. The website brief at the bottom of the tool turns your line items into a service list you can use to build a site, so visitors see the same names and scope before they ask for a quote. The cleaning and lawn care price calculators on this site can give you starting per-visit prices to put in a quote.
How it works
Pick the document type. An estimate is your best guess at the cost. A quote is a fixed price for the scope described, which the customer can accept by signing.
Optionally load a trade preset (cleaning, lawn care, painting or handyman). It fills example line items marked as examples; replace every one with your own work and prices.
Enter your business details and the customer's name and address. A number and today's date are filled in for you; change them if you like.
Add a line for each piece of work: description, quantity, unit and unit price. Tick Optional for extras the customer can choose. Enter your own tax rate; the tool does not guess tax.
Set how many days the price is valid and write what is excluded, such as permits, disposal or hidden damage.
Check the preview, then press Save as PDF and choose Save as PDF in your browser's print dialog, or copy a plain-text summary for an email. Your service list can also become a website brief.
Tips
Use a quote when you can see the whole job and are willing to hold the price. Use an estimate when something could change the cost, such as what is behind a wall.
Put optional extras on their own lines. Customers compare the base price with competitors, then add what they want.
Write exclusions in plain words. "Rotten sub-floor found after removal is priced separately" prevents more arguments than any contract clause.
Keep validity short when material prices move, often 14 to 30 days.
For recurring work like cleaning or mowing, quote a price per visit and say how often, so the customer knows the monthly cost.
Use the same service names on quotes and on your website so customers recognise them.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between an estimate and a quote?
An estimate is an informed guess at what the work will cost, and the final bill can change if the job turns out different. A quote is usually a fixed price for a defined scope that the customer can accept. The rules differ between countries and trades, so check what applies to you. The toggle at the top changes the wording on the document, the summary and the small print.
Is this quote template free?
Yes. There is no signup, no watermark and no limit. It runs in your browser and nothing is uploaded.
What do the trade presets do?
They load example line items for cleaning, lawn care, painting or handyman work so you can see how a document for that trade is laid out. The example prices are placeholders, not market rates; replace them with your own.
How do I get a PDF?
Press Save as PDF. Your browser's print dialog opens with only the document on the page; choose Save as PDF (or Microsoft Print to PDF on Windows) as the printer.
Does it calculate tax for me?
No. You enter the tax rate yourself, or leave it at zero. Tax depends on your location and what you sell, and a tool that guessed it would be wrong for many people.
Are optional items included in the total?
No. The total covers the required lines only. Optional items are listed with their own prices and a separate figure shows the total if the customer takes all of them.
