About quotation generator
A quotation tells a customer what you will charge before they commit. Clear quotes win work and prevent arguments later.
What to include
- A description and price for each item or service.
- A validity date, after which prices may change.
- Payment terms, delivery time and what is not included.
Quote or estimate
A quotation is usually a firm price offer. An estimate is an approximation that can change. Say which one you are giving.
A worked example
A designer quotes a website at ₹60,000 for design, ₹20,000 for development and ₹5,000 for hosting setup. The quote adds 18 percent GST, states that it is valid for 15 days and lists a 50 percent advance. The client can accept in writing, and both sides know the terms.
Tips
- Describe what is and is not included, to avoid scope disputes.
- State how long delivery will take after approval.
- Number your quotes so you can refer to them later.
