What should an estimate include?
- Your business name and a unique estimate number for tracking.
- Customer name and contact details.
- A clear description of each service or material, with quantity and unit price.
- Any applicable discount and tax.
- Scope of work, validity period and payment terms in the notes field.
Estimate vs. quote vs. invoice
An estimate is an approximate price based on available information — it can change if the scope changes. A quote is typically presented as a firm price for a defined scope. An invoice is a payment request after work is delivered. Use the terminology that matches your business and local regulations.
