A quick guide
From details to a clearer plan.
How to use it
- 01
Use the same quantity and service scope for every quote.
- 02
Enter a tax rate only from the written quote; use zero when not applicable.
- 03
Compare inclusions as well as totals.
How it works
Quote total = (quantity × rate + extras) × (1 + entered tax rate / 100), rounded to the currency minor unit.
Keep in mind
All amounts are tax-exclusive inputs. A lower total is not an automatic vendor recommendation.
