Quote template

Use Carbonpad as a free quote template: fill in the job, prices and a valid-until date, then download a PDF quote. When the client accepts, tap “Turn into invoice” and every line carries over with a new invoice number.

Quotes are also called estimates or proposals. The template shows your logo, the client, line items, tax, discount, total, terms and an acceptance line.

How to do it

  1. Start a quote. Open the pad and choose Quote.
  2. Describe the work. Add each item or stage with quantity, price and tax.
  3. Set the valid-until date. Quotes default to 30 days; change it to suit the job.
  4. Add terms. Deposit, timeline, what is not included.
  5. Download or share. Make the PDF, or send a link your client opens in a browser (Solo and up).
  6. Convert when accepted. Tap “Turn into invoice”. The quote is marked accepted.

Questions

What is the difference between a quote and an estimate?

A quote is usually a fixed price for the work described; an estimate is an informed guess that can change. Carbonpad lets you title the document either way.

Can I add a deposit?

Write the deposit in the terms, or add it as a negative line on the invoice once it is paid.

Is the quote legally binding?

That depends on your country and what both sides agree. Carbonpad gives you a clear document; it is not legal advice.
