What's the difference between an estimate and a quote?

Estimates and quotes are often used interchangeably, but estimates are typically approximate prices that may change, while quotes are more firm commitments. Our estimate generator creates professional documents that can work as either - you can label them as estimates or quotes based on your business needs. Both help you win jobs by showing clients exactly what work you'll do and how much it will cost.

How long should my estimate be valid?

The validity period depends on your industry and pricing stability. For home service businesses, 30-90 days is common. For projects with volatile material costs, shorter periods (14-30 days) protect you from price changes. Our estimate generator lets you set any expiration date that works for your business. Always include an expiration date to create urgency and protect your pricing.

Can I convert an estimate to an invoice later?

While this free estimate generator doesn't store your data, you can easily recreate the estimate as an invoice once a client approves. If you sign up for Supahandi, you can track estimates, see which ones get approved, and automatically convert approved estimates into invoices. This helps you manage your sales pipeline and see your win rate.

What information should I include in an estimate?

A professional estimate should include: your company name and contact information, customer details, estimate number and date, expiration date, detailed line items with descriptions and prices, subtotals and totals, and optional notes about the project scope or terms. Our generator includes all these fields and automatically calculates totals for you.

How detailed should my estimate line items be?

More detail is usually better. Break down your work into specific tasks or materials so clients understand what they're paying for. For example, instead of 'Kitchen remodel - $5,000', use line items like 'Cabinet installation', 'Countertop installation', 'Plumbing work', etc. Detailed estimates build trust and reduce questions from clients.
