US cost estimate for a job

Set out the expected cost of work before you send a price offer. Amounts start in US dollars. The total on the PDF is Estimated cost.

What you type stays in this browser. The server does not keep the PDF.

Supplier
Customer

Type the sales-tax rate for this sale. This page does not look up a state rate and does not ask for a Social Security number.

This is an expected cost, not a quotation and not a tax invoice. Amounts stay as the numbers you typed, so check them after the currency changes.

How to fill this in

The supplier is who prepares the estimate. The customer is who it is for. Add each part of the work as a line with a quantity and a unit price.

Type a sales-tax rate only when you want that possible tax on this estimate. The page does not look up a state rate. Leave the rate empty when you are not showing tax.

A valid-until date and a discount stay blank until you type them. The numbers you already typed stay put if you change country, so check them in the new currency. A quotation is a separate page for a price you are offering.

Choose A4 or US Letter before you download. Empty dates, rates, and business numbers stay empty. A tax row is added only from a rate you type. The total is an expected cost, not a quoted total.

FAQ

Is this the same as a quotation?

No. This page totals an expected cost. A quotation is a separate document, and its total is labeled Quoted total.

Will the final invoice match this figure?

Not necessarily. The work, the quantities, or the tax can change. This PDF does not become the invoice.

Does sales tax get added for me?

No. Type a rate, or leave it empty.
