Free quote template
A quote should be easy to accept: a clear scope, a clear price, and a clear expiration date. You can use the same layout as the sample estimate and label it a quote if that is what you are offering.

What to put on a quote
- A title the client will understand: Quote, Bid, or Estimate
- A unique number, the date, and a valid-until date
- Itemized labor, materials, and other costs, with a total
- Payment terms (deposit, progress bills, balance on completion)
- Exclusions and how change orders are priced
- A signature or acceptance line
Worked total
The sample job totals $4,433.64, with a $1,330.09 deposit (30%) and a $3,103.55 balance, valid for 30 days. Use the calculator to swap in your hours, material cost, markup, and tax rate.
If you want a looser figure, say so in the terms and see estimate vs quote. For the full section list, use the contractor estimate template.
Questions people ask
What is a quote template?
A quote template is a document for a priced offer, usually firmer than a rough estimate. It still needs the client's details, a description of the work, itemized prices, a total, terms, and a date after which the price may change.
Is a quote the same as an estimate?
In everyday use the words overlap. An estimate is often a preliminary figure; a quote or bid is often a firmer price for a defined scope. What matters is the terms you print: validity, exclusions, and how changes are handled.
Can I use this as a free quote template?
Yes. Follow the sections, use the calculator, and open the sample PDF. Adjust the title and terms if you want the document to read as a quote rather than an estimate.
