A freelancer quote template is a reusable document layout that lists services, deliverables, pricing, payment terms, and timelines so clients can review and approve work in writing. This free freelancer quote template is available in Excel, PDF, and Word so you can customize line items for design, development, writing, consulting, and other freelance services. ### How to write a freelance quote? Start by listing specific deliverables, not vague promises. Calculate pricing based on the value you provide, not just hours. Include payment terms (deposit amount, milestone payments), revision limits, timeline, and what's not included in the scope. Make it valid for 30 days and require a signature to accept. ### How to write a quote for a job template? Use a structured format: client details, project description, itemized deliverables, pricing breakdown, payment schedule, timeline, terms and conditions, and signature section. Be specific about what you'll deliver and when. Include revision limits and out-of-scope items to prevent misunderstandings later. ### Should I charge hourly or project-based rates? Project-based pricing works better for most freelance work. Clients get cost certainty, and you get rewarded for being efficient. Save hourly rates for ongoing retainers, consulting work, or projects where scope isn't clearly defined upfront. ### What payment schedule should freelancers use? For projects under a few thousand: 50% deposit, 50% on delivery. For larger projects: 30-40% deposit, progress payments at key milestones, and 20-30% final payment upon completion. Never start work without a deposit. ### How many revisions should I include in a quote? Include 1-2 revision rounds in your base price. More than that signals either your work needs improvement or the client doesn't know what they want. After included revisions, charge your hourly rate for additional changes. ### What if a client wants to change the project scope? Send a change order or revised quote immediately. Never do extra work hoping you'll get paid fairly later. Scope changes require new agreements with updated pricing and timelines before you proceed. ### How long should a freelance quote be valid? 30 days is the industry standard. Your availability changes, rates may increase, and project requirements might evolve. If clients don't commit within a month, send an updated quote or requalify the opportunity. ## Related templates - [consulting](https://invoicemama.com/quote-template/consulting) - [cleaning](https://invoicemama.com/quote-template/cleaning) - [contractor](https://invoicemama.com/quote-template/contractor) - [Create this in Invoice Mama](https://app.invoicemama.com/sign-up) --- Invoice Mama is invoicing software for contractors, freelancers, and small businesses.
