Quote Generator
Send a priced quote your client can accept, with a clear validity period.
Plan the price — we never store your quoteOverview
A quote tells a prospective client what you would charge for a defined piece of work. It is an offer, not a demand for payment, and it usually stays open for a set number of days. InvoiceForge builds the quote on your device with your items, a validity period and a total, then exports a PDF you can send before any work begins. A clear quote protects you from being locked into an old price and protects the client from surprise charges once the job starts.
Template only — not tax or legal advice. Confirm local invoicing and tax rules before sending.
How it works
Add the items you would supply, set a quote number and a valid-until date, then download the PDF. The quoted total is calculated in the browser. When the client accepts, you can later raise a matching invoice that refers back to the same quote number, so the paper trail from offer to payment stays connected.
FAQ
Quote or estimate — what is the difference?
A quote is a firm price you offer for specified work and can be accepted as a deal. An estimate is a rougher planning figure that may change once the job is better understood. Use a quote when the scope is clear, and an estimate when you are still working out what the job involves.
How long is a quote valid?
A common default is 30 days, but you can set any date. Prices for materials or labor can move, so a validity period protects you from being locked into an old price for too long, while still giving the client time to decide.
What makes a quote clear?
List each item with quantity and price, state exactly what is included, name the valid-until date, and reference a quote number. The clearer the scope, the fewer surprises when the client accepts, and the easier it is to convert into an invoice.
Should a quote show tax?
Show tax separately if it applies, so the client sees the net price and the tax on top. If the quote is exempt, say so. Keep the tax treatment consistent with the later invoice so the accepted quote and the final bill agree.
Tips for this document
State the validity period in plain words and list precisely what the price covers. If parts of the job are uncertain, note them as excluded so the quote is not mistaken for a fixed contract for the whole project. A quote that defines its own boundaries saves both sides from disagreement later.
