Quote & estimate pad — the printable form for pricing a job on paper

Line items, a deposit box, and an accepted-by signature — the same structure a good quote needs, blank and ready to write on before you’re back at a screen.

This is a blank quote / estimate — a form meant to be printed and filled in by hand. The table cells and blank lines below are intentionally empty.

How to use this sheet

Fill in the client, a quote number, and a validity window first — “valid for 30 days” protects you from honoring an old price once materials go up. The line-item table works the same way a written quote should: labor, materials, and permits broken out, not one number.

Add the line totals up by hand into the subtotal box, then write in the deposit you’re asking for and what’s left on completion. Spelling out the deposit here — before anyone’s agreed to anything — is what makes it easy to ask for later instead of awkward.

Get the signature at the bottom before you book the job in. A quote a client has actually signed is a much easier document to point back to than an email thread if the scope gets disputed later — see how to write a quote that wins the work for what else belongs on it.

Once it’s signed, the job’s started — reach for the free invoice generator when the work’s done, using the same line items and the deposit already agreed here as a credit against the total.

Common questions

How big a deposit should I ask for?
25–50% is standard for most trades — enough to confirm the client is committed and to stop you fronting an entire job’s materials unpaid. Write the number in before you hand the quote over, not after they’ve said yes.
How long should the quote stay valid?
Two to four weeks covers most jobs — long enough that nobody feels rushed, short enough that a materials price swing doesn’t leave you honoring a stale number. Write the actual date, not just “30 days”, so there’s no argument about when it started.
What if the client wants changes after they’ve signed?
Treat it as a new quote for the difference rather than editing this one — note what changed and reprice just that part. A second signed sheet for the extra work protects you the same way this one does.
Is this the same as an invoice?
No — this is what you send before the work happens, to get a yes and a deposit. The free invoice generator is the better tool for the bill you send once the job’s actually done.

One sheet works. Six jobs at once is where paper stops.

This sheet is genuinely free to reuse forever — print it as many times as the job needs. BizBinder is for the point after that: when the same client, job, and invoice details need to live somewhere they can’t be left behind on a job site, and the follow-up they’re waiting on doesn’t depend on you remembering which pile it’s in.
