Why should I use a quote template?
Business owners like you will find a number of benefits from using a quote template, including:
- Accuracy and Consistency: An quote template ensures that all essential details are consistently and accurately documented. This reduces the likelihood of errors.
- Professionalism: A well-designed estimate template conveys professionalism to clients. This enhances your reputation and reinforces trust in your services or products.
- Time-Saving: A quote template streamlines the budget process by providing pre-formatted fields, eliminating the need to create job estimates from scratch.
By leveraging a template, you can improve efficiency, accuracy, and professionalism in your budget and planning processes while maintaining organized financial records.

A price quote is an agreement between a customer and a vendor to provide services and products at an agreed-upon price. Once a customer accepts a quote, it’s typically converted to an invoice.
A quote and an invoice are almost identical, save for a few slight changes. For instance, some labeling is changed from “quote” to “invoice.” In some examples, a discount line is added. Most companies use the same quote template for their invoices to keep things consistent.
When changing a quote to an invoice, the ‘notes’ area can be changed to ‘terms,’ with a line where the customer can sign to accept the quoted price. However, signature lines can be removed, and it’s easy for companies to add unique terms and conditions.
Most price quote-related interactions happen via email, where a customer receives a PDF version of the quote. It’s important that you don’t send customers the Excel/Sheets file used to create the quote, so you can ensure the content and formatting are unaltered. The editable quote template is yours to use. Then, you can make a PDF version of the quote to send.
If you use our estimate generator, you can easily save your quotes as PDFs. If you prefer to use the quote templates provided here, both Google Sheets and newer versions of Excel allow you to ‘export’ or ‘download as’ a PDF.
Our online templates make it easy for small businesses to send invoices and quotes. You’ll find easy-to-use templates that will give even the smallest company a polished, professional look.
It’s always best to send out estimates as soon as possible. A customer who’s asking for prices may be inquiring with different suppliers at the same time. If you give your quote ASAP, you won’t miss your window, showing you know what you’re doing.
You’ve most likely heard of both a quote and an estimate. But what’s the difference between the two? And which should you use? A quote or an estimate?
There’s only a slight difference between quotes and estimates:
A quote means the cost is agreed upon, and work can begin
An estimate is a preliminary document that outlines the work and approximate cost.
Prices given in quotes are binding, whereas prices in estimates are not. Which you use—quote or estimate—depends on your industry and the type of work you do. A photographer may provide a quote on a wedding shoot with a fixed price, while a contractor may provide an estimate on a bathroom remodel that may change over time.
Because quotes are more binding, they can easily be transformed into a final invoice.
Check out our main estimate template page if you’re looking for formats other than Excel or Google sheets. We’ve got Word and Google Doc versions there too. We also offer templates for some of the documents you’ll need further down the line on our invoice template page and our receipt template page.
