Create professional price quotes and estimates with itemized services, validity periods, terms, and client-ready formatting.
A quote and an estimate are close relatives with a meaningful difference: a quote presents a price the client can accept, while an estimate projects a likely cost. This tool takes the services you enter, with quantities and rates, and assembles them into a formatted document with subtotal, tax, total, validity period, and terms sections, ready to send to a client. The recurring surprise is that the arithmetic beyond the line items is up to you: the tax rate, the validity window, and the payment terms are entries, not defaults, and a field left blank simply does not appear.
A concrete input and expected output from the current implementation.
Input
Line items: Website design, 1 unit at $2,400; Hosting setup, 1 unit at $120; Logo refinement, 1 unit at $500. Settings: tax rate 8%, valid for 30 days.
Expected output
A quote document with three line items: subtotal $3,020.00, tax (8%) $241.60, total $3,261.60, marked valid for 30 days from the issue date.
Each line is quantity times rate (2,400 + 120 + 500 = 3,020), the tax rate applies to that subtotal (3,020 x 0.08 = 241.60), and the total is the sum (3,261.60).
Each service row carries a quantity and a unit rate. The tool multiplies the two per row, sums every row into a subtotal, applies the tax rate you entered to that subtotal, and prints the result as the total. Currency formatting and two-decimal rounding follow the currency you set; with no tax rate entered, the subtotal and the total are identical.
The validity period you set renders as a deadline on the document, computed from the issue date you provide. Terms are text you write: payment timing, revision limits, or acceptance conditions. The finished document is a standalone formatted page meant to be printed or sent as-is; it records what you entered and applies no further changes to it.
No. The rate is an entry you provide, and it is applied as one percentage of the subtotal. Tax treatment varies by state, by item or service type, and over time, and the tool has no way to know yours. Leaving the field blank produces a subtotal-only total, so enter a rate you have verified before sending the document.
No. The validity date is a statement on the document, not an automatic switch. If the client accepts after it lapses, you can still honor the price or decline, and many businesses simply reissue with a fresh date. Enforcing the deadline is yours to do, so decide what you will do before the client does.
