Price a job before it starts — line items, expected hours, rates, and a valid-until date on a branded PDF. Free with just your email, and the whole estimate lives in a shareable link.
Client work runs on three documents. The estimate proposes the cost before work starts. The invoice bills it once the work is done. The receipt confirms the money arrived. Get the estimate right — scoped line items, realistic hours, an expiry date — and the downstream documents write themselves. When the client approves, convert it with the invoice generator.
A service estimate needs five things: who is estimating (your name and contact), who it is for (the client), an estimate number, an issue date, and a validity window. Itemized line items showing expected hours times rate beat a single lump sum — the client sees where the number comes from, and scope conversations happen line by line instead of against a total.
Need the hours first? Add them up with the billable hours calculator.
Estimates go wrong on the hours, not the rate. Automatic time tracking records what similar work actually took last time, so the next estimate is grounded in data instead of optimism — and approved hours flow straight into the invoice when the job is done.
Enter your name, who the estimate is for, an issue date, and how long the estimate is valid. Then add each piece of work as a line item — description, hours (7.5 or 7:30), and hourly rate — and the generator totals them into a PDF estimate.
Yes. There is no account, no sign-up, and no limit — just your email to unlock the PDF download. The estimate is encoded in the page link, so you can bookmark or share it, and the PDF is generated in your browser — only your email is stored.
An estimate proposes approximate cost before work starts — it can move if the scope does. A quote is a firmer fixed price for defined work. An invoice bills for work already done. The workflow is estimate → invoice → receipt: propose it, bill it, document the payment.
Thirty days is the standard default — long enough for a client to decide, short enough that your rates and availability do not drift. This generator defaults the valid-until date to 30 days out, and prints it on the estimate so the client knows when the price expires.
Convert it to an invoice. The invoice adds a due date, payment terms, and a payment link so the client can pay — our invoice generator handles that step.
