FROM BLANK TO READY

How to use this template

  1. 01

    Describe what the price includes

    List the proposed work, materials and assumptions. Name exclusions so the customer can see what would require a separate agreement.

  2. 02

    Show quantities and rates

    Separate labour and materials. Keep every amount in the stated currency, and show discounts and applicable tax separately rather than hiding them in a single total.

  3. 03

    Agree the scope before work starts

    Add timing, validity and the proposed payment schedule. Confirm changes in writing and retain the agreed version before preparing the invoice.

Estimate, quote and invoice

This template is a starting document for proposed work. The meaning and legal effect of an estimate or quote depend on the agreement and jurisdiction. An invoice records the amount billed; label each document clearly and keep its own reference.

Worked example: a 30% deposit

Six hours at 60.00 is 360.00. Two shelves at 80.00 and fixings at 20.00 add 180.00, making a pre-tax total of 540.00. A 30% deposit is 162.00. If received, that payment leaves 378.00 before any applicable tax. The sample does not determine a tax rate for your business.
