How to Use a Quote Template in Excel
Download the workbook and save a working copy before you edit it. Check the formulas as you add rows, then review the print area before you create the customer PDF.
- Add Your Business: Replace the sample business name and contact details with your own.
- Add Your Logo: Add your logo if you want the quote to match your other business documents.
- Add the Customer: Enter the customer's name, business, and contact details.
- Add the Quote Number and Dates: Enter a unique quote number, the issue date, and a valid-until date when the offer expires.
- List the Products or Services: Enter each item, quantity, and rate. Make sure the line-total formula covers every row you use.
- Check the Totals and Terms: Review the subtotal, discounts, sales tax, and final total. Add timing, payment or deposit terms, exclusions, and a clear way for the customer to accept.
- Review and Send: Test the formulas with simple numbers. Check the print area and page breaks, save a PDF, and review the finished file before you email it.
Check the Formulas Before You Send
Save a New Working Copy
Keep the original workbook unchanged. Save a new file for each customer or project.
Test With Simple Numbers
Use quantities and rates you can calculate in your head. Make sure every total matches before you add the final prices.
Copy Formulas Into New Rows
When you add line items, copy the formula and formatting from a complete row. Check that the subtotal includes the new row.
Review the Print Area
Open print preview and make sure the customer details, line items, totals, and terms appear on the finished PDF.
Excel or an Online Quote?
Use Excel when you need an offline workbook and control over the formulas. Use Docelf when you want to calculate the total and send the quote from one place.
Create a quote online with Docelf when you want fewer formulas to check and fewer files to manage.
What to Include in a Quote
Even in a spreadsheet, the customer needs a clear offer and a total they can trust.
- Your business name and contact details, plus your logo if you use one
- Your customer's name and contact details
- A unique quote number, issue date, and valid-until date when needed
- A clear description of the products, services, or work
- Quantities, rates, prices, and the total, plus discounts and sales tax when they apply
- Expected timing, delivery details, and anything not included when relevant
- Payment or deposit terms when they apply
- A clear way for your customer to accept the quote
Other Quote Template File Formats
Choose Word or Google Docs when wording matters more than formulas. Use Google Sheets for shared calculations or PDF for the fixed customer copy.
