## How it works

subtotal = sum(line items); total = subtotal + tax − discount + deposit logic as entered

## Worked example

A service estimate can list labor, materials, tax, deposit, and a plain-language acceptance note.

## Assumptions

- Not legal/accounting advice
- Local tax/payment rules vary
- Final quote should be reviewed before sending

## Common questions

### Is a quote the same as an invoice?

No. A quote estimates future work, while an invoice requests payment for work or products.

### Can I copy the output to a client?

Yes, but review terms, pricing, and legal requirements first.
