What this document is for

Use an estimate to communicate a good-faith approximation based on the information currently available.

What it is not

An estimate is not a tax invoice, a demand for payment, or automatically a fixed-price commitment.

When to use another document

Use a quote when you can commit to a defined scope and price. Issue an invoice at the agreed billing point and a receipt after payment.

Frequently asked questions

Is an estimate the same as a quote?

Not usually. An estimate is an approximation. A quote generally presents a more defined offer, although the legal effect depends on the wording and agreement.

Can I request payment with an estimate?

This estimate is not a demand for payment. Use an invoice when a payment is due under your agreement.

What should an estimate explain?

Describe the expected scope, quantities, rates, assumptions, exclusions, validity period, and how changes will be approved.
