Quote Template

A quote gives a potential client a clear estimate before work begins or goods are supplied. This template helps Canadian freelancers and small businesses describe the requested work, list estimated line items, set a quote number, show a valid-until date, add optional tax, and explain terms or assumptions. Use it before an invoice when the price still needs client acceptance.

A complete, editable starting point

Common questions

Is a quote the same as an invoice?

No. A quote estimates price before approval; an invoice requests payment after goods or services are provided.

Should I add an expiry date?

Yes. A valid-until date helps protect pricing when costs, availability, or schedules change.

Should I list assumptions?

Yes. Assumptions and exclusions help prevent scope misunderstandings.
