Free quote template for Australian small businesses

A quote template helps communicate your services, terms, and pricing to your customer. If a customer accepts your quote it becomes a legally binding contract.

Your quote will likely be compared with other businesses so it's important it looks professional. It should include all key details and be easy to understand.

Yes, a price quote and a quote are the same thing — these terms can be used interchangeably. The document outlines your terms of service, the scope of work and how much you’ll charge. 

A quote template should look professional, be easy to understand and include the following details:

• Your business details, contact details and ABN

• Customer details

• Quote date and expiry date

• Description of goods/services, unit price, and quantity

• Total cost and (if relevant) GST costs

• Terms and conditions

• Preferred payment methods

• Any additional notes (e.g. How to accept the quote)


Yes, a quote is a legally binding document. However, you may want to include terms and conditions that protect you should you incur additional expenses. It’s advisable to consult a qualified legal practitioner when writing the terms and conditions for your business quote template.  

If your business is registered for GST, you’ll need to provide a breakdown of the GST costs in your quote. If your business isn’t registered for GST, you don’t need to include a GST breakdown.


Any small business that needs to quote for its services can make use of MYOB’s free quote template. For example, if you work in construction, you can easily adapt the document to be a builder’s quote template. Likewise, if you offer a professional service, you can tailor it to be the job quote template you require.  

A quote is provided before any goods or services have been delivered. It provides the customer with a price, which is then accepted so the job can begin. 
An invoice is a contractual payment obligation, detailing how and when to make payment when the job is complete.

Yes, an estimate is different from a quote. Typically, an estimate won’t include a detailed pricing breakdown or outline the terms and conditions or scope of the project. An estimate is a ballpark amount from the provider. It still has an important role to play in the sales funnel, though. Estimates are useful for gauging interest before issuing a formal quote.  

Send your quote as soon as possible after customers make a request — the speed of your reply can be critical to landing the job. Using easy quoting software like MYOB prefills your business and GST information, helping you create quotes faster.


An invoice needs to be labelled ‘Invoice’ or ‘Tax Invoice’ if you’re GST-registered. If you use invoicing software to create your price quote, you can convert your quote to an invoice and send it to your customer in just a few clicks. By streamlining the invoicing process, you can get paid faster. 

MYOB offers a range of tools and templates to help businesses start, survive and succeed. In addition to the free quote template, check out the MYOB invoice template, payslip template, timesheet template, purchase order template and business plan template.  

Note though, it’s easier to use software to manage your business than editable templates. Learn more about MYOB Business and check out our latest offers.
