What to include

What goes on an estimate

Clients say yes faster when they can see what they are getting. This template already has every part in place.

Work out the tax

  1. 1Your business and the clientYour name, email and phone, and who you are billing. Add the job address when it differs from theirs. In Canada, add your GST/HST number once you are registered.
  2. 2An estimate number and a valid until dateA number so the client’s yes matches the right quote, and how long the price holds.
  3. 3The work, line by lineEach part of the job with its quantity and price. Clear lines mean fewer questions.
  4. 4Expected costsMaterials, travel or fees you expect to pass on, as their own line.
  5. 5Taxes and the totalEach tax with its rate, like HST 13% in Ontario or sales tax 6.25% in Illinois, then the total.
  6. 6Deposit and next stepsWhat is due to start, when the rest is billed, and how the client says yes.

Questions

Is an estimate the same as a quote?

Mostly. Many people use the words the same way. Some treat a quote as a fixed price and an estimate as a best guess, so say in the notes whether the price can change.

Which taxes does this template use?

The Canada version uses HST 13% for Ontario, in Canadian dollars. The US version uses sales tax 6.25% for Illinois, in US dollars. They are examples: which taxes apply depends on where you work and what you sell, so check with your tax authority.
