A quote is an offer, and offers are binding

This is the whole difference between a quote and an estimate, and it is a legal one rather than a matter of wording. A quote is a fixed price you are offering to hold: once the client accepts it, in most jurisdictions you have a contract at that figure, and discovering afterwards that the work costs more is your problem rather than theirs. An estimate carries no such weight, which is why it is the safer document when the scope is not yet settled.

The document this page generates says so on its face — "Fixed price, valid until" and the date — because a price offered without a stated shelf life is a price you have offered for ever.

What a quote has to pin down

  • The scope, written tightly enough that both of you would read it the same way in three months.
  • The price, and whether tax is included in it or added to it.
  • The date the offer expires — after which the figure is simply withdrawn.
  • What would change the price: variations, access, ground conditions, anything the client controls.
  • What is not included, item by item.
  • Payment stages, if the work is long enough that you are not waiting until the end.

Why the expiry date is the important one

Without it, a quote is an open offer against your own cost base. Materials move, subcontractors put their rates up, and the client who accepts a fifteen-month-old quote is doing nothing wrong. Thirty days is the usual answer; two weeks is reasonable when prices are moving. Either way, the date belongs on the document and not in the covering email, because the PDF is what gets forwarded.

Getting the answer, and getting it recorded

A quote is only useful once it has been answered, and a PDF cannot be answered — a file has no button. The industry figures are blunt about what that costs: a quote emailed for signature later closes at 18–22%, one that can be accepted on the spot at 38–45%. Saving this quote to an account gives it a link the client opens and accepts, records the answer against the document, and turns the accepted quote into an invoice for the same work in one step.

Not ready to fix the price yet? Send an estimate instead. Work already agreed and done? That is an invoice.

Frequently asked questions

What people ask before they trust a free quote tool.

Is this quote generator really free?
Yes. There is no fee, no trial period and no watermark on the PDF. Nothing on this page requires a credit card.
What is the difference between a quote and an estimate?
A quote is a fixed price you are offering to hold, and it is binding on you once the client accepts it. An estimate is your best projection of the cost and can move if the job does. If the scope is not settled yet, send an estimate instead.
Is a quote legally binding?
Once a client accepts it within the period it stands, a quote generally forms a contract at that price — the details depend on your jurisdiction and on what the document itself says. That is why the price, the scope and the exclusions all belong in writing, and why the document prints the date the offer expires.
How long should a quote be valid until?
Thirty days is the common default, and two weeks is sensible when materials prices are moving. Whatever you choose, state it on the quote: an offer with no expiry is an offer you have made for ever.
Can I raise the price after the client accepts?
Not unilaterally, which is the point of quoting rather than estimating. What you can do is price the variations the client asks for afterwards, provided the quote said what was and was not included.
Do I need to create an account?
No. Fill in the form and download the PDF directly — there is no sign-up and no login for this tool.
Can the client accept the quote online?
Not from a downloaded PDF. Saving the quote to an account gives it a link the client opens and answers on, and the acceptance is recorded against the document rather than living in an email thread.
Can I use this for any currency or country?
Yes. Choose any currency and country for either party — the totals and formatting follow your selection.
