How to Write a Freelance Quote

  1. Summary of the goal in the client’s words.
  2. Scope and deliverables — what is included and, importantly, what is not.
  3. Revisions: e.g. two rounds included, extra rounds at your hourly rate.
  4. Timeline with client dependencies (feedback within 3 business days).
  5. Price — consider three options; build in a 10–20% scope buffer (project pricing calculator).
  6. Payment terms — deposit and due dates.
  7. Validity — quote valid for 14 or 30 days.
  8. Next step — how to accept.
