What's in the Google Docs file

  • A labor table with task, hours, rate and amount columns.
  • Subtotal and estimate total lines underneath.
  • Estimate number, date and a valid-until date at the top.
  • Space for your business details and who the estimate is for.
  • Your copy lives in your own Google Drive. We can't see or change it.

How to use it in Google Docs

  1. 1

    Make your copy

    Click Make a copy. Google asks you to confirm, then opens your own copy in Google Docs.

  2. 2

    Add your business and the job

    Replace the placeholder text with your details, the customer, the job address, an estimate number and the valid-until date.

  3. 3

    Describe the work

    List each task with its hours and rate, and work out each amount. Add rows for materials if you need them.

  4. 4

    Add the totals and terms

    Fill in the subtotal and the total, then your terms. Google Docs doesn't calculate, so double-check the sums.

  5. 5

    Download as PDF and send

    Choose File > Download > PDF document (.pdf) and email it to the customer.

Questions about the Google Docs estimate template

Is it really free?

Yes. The download is free, with no sign-up, no email and no watermark. The online builder is free too.

Do I need a Google account?

Yes, to make a copy in Google Docs. Without one, download the Word version or fill the estimate in online.

Does Google Docs calculate the totals?

No. Docs tables don't do maths. For automatic totals, and labor and materials split out, use the Google Sheets estimate template, or fill the estimate in online.

How long should an estimate be valid?

30 days is common. Use a shorter window, such as 14 days, when material prices move quickly.

How do I reuse it for the next job?

Open your copy and choose File > Make a copy, then change the estimate number, customer, dates and lines.
