How is an estimate different from an invoice?

An estimate is a non-binding projection of cost shared before work begins; an invoice is the final bill. This tool labels the document 'Estimate' and supports a validity date.

Can clients see a total?

Yes — subtotal, tax, discounts and the grand total are calculated live and printed on the estimate.

No — estimates are generated in your browser and templates are stored only in LocalStorage.
