Frequently Asked Questions
Is this estimate template free?
Yes. 100% free, no document cap, no watermark, no required sign-up.
Is an estimate legally binding?
No — an estimate is a good-faith approximation, not a fixed price. If you want a binding price, send a quote or a signed contract instead.
How accurate should my estimate be?
Most trades aim for ±10–15%. Spell out allowances and exclusions in writing so the customer understands what could push the final invoice up.
Can I convert an estimate into an invoice?
Yes — in the quotation generator, accepted estimates can be turned into an invoice in one click.
