How to write a quote in 5 steps

A good quote answers three questions before the client has to ask them: what exactly am I getting, what does it cost, and how long is this price good for. Fill the fields above as you read.

  1. 1

    Add your details and the client’s

    Your business name and contact details go top-left, the client’s opposite. Address it to the person who actually signs off, not the general company inbox - quotes sent to nobody in particular are the ones that go unanswered.

  2. 2

    Number it and set an expiry date

    Give every quote a reference (QUO-001) so you can both refer to it later. Then set a valid-until date. An open-ended quote lets a client sit on your pricing for six months while your costs move.

  3. 3

    Break the work into priced lines

    One line per deliverable with a quantity and a rate. A single "project fee" number invites haggling on the whole figure; itemised lines move the conversation to what to include or drop instead.

  4. 4

    Add tax and check the total

    Set your tax rate and the subtotal, tax and total calculate themselves. Make clear whether the figures include or exclude tax - this is the single most common cause of a disputed final invoice.

  5. 5

    State what is and is not included, then send the PDF

    Use the notes field for scope, revision limits, payment schedule and what would count as extra. Then save as PDF. Send a PDF rather than an editable file so the numbers cannot drift before it comes back to you.

What to include on a quote

Miss one of these and you leave room for a disagreement once the work is underway. The generator above covers all of them.

The word “Quote” or “Estimate”

Label it clearly so nobody mistakes it for an invoice. A quote is a fixed offer; an estimate is a best guess that can move.

A quote reference number

Lets you and the client point at the same document once there have been three revisions.

Your business details

Trading name, address, email and any tax or company registration number.

The client’s details

Company name plus the individual who approves spend. Vague addressing is how quotes stall.

A valid-until date

Protects your pricing and creates a reason to decide. Thirty days is a normal default.

Itemised scope and pricing

Description, quantity and unit rate per deliverable, so the total explains itself.

Subtotal, tax and total

Three separate figures, with tax treatment stated explicitly.

Terms and exclusions

Payment schedule, revision limits and anything outside scope. This is the section that prevents arguments later.

Frequently asked questions

Yes, the same document under two names. Quotation is the longer and more formal word and is what most of the UK, Ireland, India, Australia, South Africa and Singapore say; quote is the short form and dominates in the US. Nothing about the content changes, so a quotation generator and a quote generator produce the same thing. If your client used the word quotation when they asked, label the document that way and it will read as though you work the way they do.
