What Is an Estimate?

Quote vs. Estimate — What's the Difference?

📋 Quote

A quote is a fixed, binding price offer. When a client accepts a quote, you're committed to delivering at that exact price. Best for: defined scope projects, fixed-fee services.

📐 Estimate

An estimate is an approximate price range. It signals what the project might cost but isn't legally binding. Best for: construction, renovation, complex projects with variable scope.

Our tool handles both — simply change the document title to "Estimate" or "Quotation" as needed.

FAQ

Estimate Generator FAQ

Generally, no. An estimate is an approximate price and is not legally binding in the same way a formal quote is. However, this varies by jurisdiction and context. It's always a good idea to include clear terms stating that the estimate may vary and list conditions under which it might change.

Use our Contractor preset to get started instantly. Add each phase of work as a separate line item (e.g., Foundation, Framing, Electrical, Plumbing). Include materials and labor separately if needed. Add your validity period and any conditions in the Notes section. Then download as PDF and send to your client.

Yes. You can add tax per line item (for mixed tax rates on materials vs. labor) or set a global tax rate for the entire estimate. The tax breakdown is clearly shown in the estimate totals section.

Simply change the estimate status to "Approved" using the status selector, then click the "Convert to Invoice" button in the toolbar. All your data — line items, client info, totals — transfers to the invoice generator automatically. No re-entry needed.
