Invoices and orders
A free quote template is the price you send while the client is still deciding. The sample is a contractor estimate for Dana Brooks: repaint a two-bedroom apartment. The price is valid until April 15, 2026. Labor in the sample is $55 an hour. Paint is $38 a gallon. The sheet multiplies quantity by unit price, then adds 8 percent tax.
The free quote template Excel file has one client and one job. Dana Brooks is the sample client. Prep and patch walls is a different line from paint as a material, and paint the walls as labor is a third line. Splitting labor and materials makes the estimate easy to explain.
Type the tax rate as 8%, not the number 8. The tax formula multiplies the subtotal by that rate. Estimate total is subtotal plus tax. Those three cells are green.
After the client accepts, copy the agreed lines into the free invoice template. The quote is not the final bill. If the date passes April 15 in your own file, you can change the price. The sheet does not expire itself.
