How it works.

  1. Step 1: Write the estimate

    List the work, the materials and any optional extras, each with a quantity and a rate. Add tax or a discount, then set a valid-until date so the client knows how long the price holds. Giving a fixed price? Rename the document to Quote.

  2. Step 2: Send it for approval

    Send the estimate by email or link. Your client opens it on any device, reviews every line and accepts with their name and date, or asks for changes. You're notified the moment they accept, so you can book the work while the decision is fresh.

  3. Step 3: Turn the yes into an invoice

    Convert the approved estimate into an invoice in one click. Line items, client details and notes carry over, and the estimate number is referenced automatically. Choose whether to bill the full amount, a deposit or the first milestone.

Approval in a tap.

Clients open your estimate on their phone, review every line and accept it with their name and date. You're notified the moment it happens. If something needs changing, they can ask before they accept, so questions come up before the work starts.

Who it's for.

  • Builders and remodelers

    A kitchen remodeler quotes cabinets, labour and fitting as separate lines, valid until the end of the month because material prices move. The homeowner reviews it on their phone that evening and accepts with their name and date. The next morning the remodeler turns it into a deposit invoice before ordering materials, without retyping a line.

  • Landscapers and seasonal services

    A landscaper sends spring estimates for planting and lawn care, with extras such as new edging listed as separate lines. Clients accept online or ask for changes before the season starts. By the first busy week, the calendar is full of work that is already agreed in writing, and each job becomes an invoice in one click when it is done.

  • Consultants and agencies

    A marketing consultant prices a project in phases on a single estimate. Once the client accepts, she invoices the first milestone straight from it. The estimate number appears on the invoice, so the client's accounts team can match the two, and nobody has to ask later what was agreed. If the scope grows, a revised estimate goes out for approval the same way.

Questions, answered.

What's the difference between an estimate and a quote?

An estimate is an informed approximation that can change. A quote is a fixed price for a defined scope. Remit handles both; rename the document to suit. Whichever you send, say plainly whether the price can change.

Can clients sign an estimate?

Yes. With Pro, clients accept online with their name and date, and every estimate PDF includes an acceptance line. A client who prefers paper can sign the printed PDF instead. With Pro you can add your own signature too: upload a photo of it and place it anywhere on the page.

Can I make estimates for free?

Yes. The estimate generator is free, with no sign-up and no watermark, and the PDF includes an acceptance line. Online approval and conversion to invoices are part of Pro.

How long should an estimate be valid?

Many businesses use 15 to 30 days. Choose a period that reflects how quickly your costs change, especially for materials, and set it as the valid-until date. Our guide on how to write an estimate covers scope, pricing and terms.

Can I ask for a deposit when a client accepts?

Yes. With Pro, you can request a deposit the moment an estimate is approved, and the client can pay it online by card or bank transfer. Invoice the rest when the work is done or at the next milestone.

Can I send a quotation letter instead?

Yes. The free quotation letter generator sets your price inside a formal letter on your letterhead. For an itemised price with a valid-until date, use the quotation generator. Both are free, with no sign-up and no watermark.
