Free Quote Generator for Freelancers

What is a free estimate generator?

An estimate generator lets you create a professional, client-facing price proposal without installing software or paying for a subscription. You enter your business details, your client’s information, a list of deliverables with prices, the applicable VAT and a validity period, and the tool produces a print-ready PDF you can send straight away.

Invoicey’s estimate generator is built for freelancers, contractors and small businesses in Europe and beyond. It handles EU and UK VAT, multiple currencies and the details a sound estimate needs, and it is completely free with a free account — no credit card.

Estimate, quote or proposal — what is the difference?

The terms are often used interchangeably, but they set different expectations with your client:

• Quote: A fixed price for a clearly defined scope. Once the client accepts it, both sides usually treat the price as agreed.
• Estimate: An approximate cost that may change with the actual time or materials used. Useful for time-and-materials work where the scope can evolve.
• Proposal: A broader sales document that combines pricing with the approach, timeline and terms. Common for larger projects.

Invoicey works for all three: the PDF layout is neutral and professional, and you choose how to label and word it for your situation.

Who is it for?

• Freelancers sending a price proposal before starting a project
• Consultants quoting fixed fees or day rates
• Designers, developers and creatives scoping project costs
• Contractors and tradespeople quoting for building, renovation or repair work
• Small businesses answering requests for quotes
• French auto-entrepreneurs creating a “devis” with the right TVA wording

What should a professional estimate include?

A clear estimate builds trust and cuts down on back-and-forth with your client. Include:

• Your business name, address and contact details
• Your client’s name and billing address
• A unique estimate number for tracking
• The issue date and validity period (for example, valid for 30 days)
• Line items — each service or product with a description, quantity and unit price
• Subtotal, VAT rate and amount, and total
• Payment terms (for example, 50% upfront and the balance on completion)
• Notes on what is and is not included in the scope

Invoicey lays all of these fields out in a clean PDF. You fill in the content; the formatting is handled for you.

From estimate to invoice in one click

Once your client approves the estimate, the next step is invoicing. In Invoicey you can convert any saved estimate into an invoice in one click. Line items, client details, VAT settings and prices carry over — no retyping and no copy-paste mistakes — and the invoice gets the next number in your sequence.

Keeping estimates and invoices in the same place also means you can always see which quotes were accepted, which are still waiting and which have already been billed.
