Free quote generator for tradies
Make a quote that's ready to send from your phone: your details, the work line by line, GST worked out, a date the price holds until, and a line for them to say yes. Print it, save it as a PDF, or email it to yourself to forward.

What a quote needs, and why
A quote is an offer, and the customer is deciding whether to take it in the thirty seconds after it arrives. Everything on the document is there to make that decision easy and to stop the job that follows turning into an argument.
- The work, line by line. One line that says “bathroom” is a price with no shape. Four lines that say what's in it are a price the customer understands and a scope you can hold to.
- The total, including GST. Quoting a homeowner, the price you show has to be the full amount as a single figure — the regulator says so, and “plus GST” at the bottom is exactly what that rule was written to stop.
- A date it holds until. Materials move. A quote with no expiry is a price you're still bound to in six months.
- What's not included. The variation you agree on site is the thing you're out of pocket for later. Say what sits outside the price and it stops being a surprise.
The quote that arrives first
Most jobs aren't lost on price. They're lost on the four hours between the enquiry and the reply, while she rings the next bloke and he prices it from site. A quote that goes out while you're still the only one she's spoken to wins more work than a cheaper one that arrives tomorrow.
Which is why this makes a document you can build on a phone in two minutes and email to yourself to forward. If the price on it needs checking first, the charge-out rate calculator works out what an hour has to sell for.
