Frequently asked questions
How do I write a freelance quote?
List your deliverables as clear line items or phases with prices, add a project total, state the timeline and what is included/excluded, set payment terms (such as a 50% deposit), and add a valid-until date and an acceptance line. Keep it clean and easy to say yes to.
Should a freelance quote include a deposit?
Yes — most freelancers require a deposit (commonly 30-50%) before starting, with the balance due on milestones or completion. State this clearly in the payment terms so expectations are set upfront.
Is this freelance quote template free?
Yes — free to use. Describe your project and rates to the AI and it will draft the quote for you to send.
