What to put on an electrical estimate
Ten things that help the customer say yes, and keep the price you quoted from turning into an argument.
- Your business name, phone and license number So the customer knows who’s quoting and can check your license.
- An estimate number and the date Give every estimate its own number, so you and the customer talk about the same price.
- A date it’s good until Prices for parts and materials move. A date tells the customer how long your price stands.
- The customer and the job address Where the work is, if that’s not where the estimate goes.
- What you’ll do, in plain words “Add a 240-volt, 50-amp circuit and outlet in the garage for an EV charger” is clearer than “electrical upgrade.”
- Materials by name and count Breakers, wire by the foot, boxes and outlets.
- Labor, by the hour or as one price Whichever way you charge, say which it is.
- Permit and inspection fees On their own line, so the customer sees what the city charges apart from your work.
- The total, and any deposit to start Some states limit how big a deposit can be. Check the rules where you work.
- A line for the customer to sign Their signature and the date show they approved the price.

Questions about this template
Every trade’s invoice and estimate is on the free templates page.
Is this electrical estimate template free?
Yes. There’s no account, no trial and no email address to give. Fill it in and download the PDF as often as you like.
Where does what I type go?
Nowhere. It stays in this browser on this device, so it’s there next time you open the page. Wakeman never sees it, and Clear everything removes it.
Will the estimate say Wakeman on it?
No. The PDF shows only your business: your name, your logo if you add one, and your details.
How does the customer approve it?
The PDF ends with lines for their signature, the date and their printed name. They can sign a printed copy, or answer your email or text to say yes.
Should the permit fee be on the estimate?
Yes, if the job needs a permit. Give it its own line so the customer sees what the city charges apart from your work.
Is an estimate the same as a contract?
No. An estimate is the price you’re offering. For bigger jobs many contractors also use a written contract, and some states set rules for what a home improvement contract must say. Your state’s contractor licensing board can tell you.
What’s the difference between an estimate and an invoice?
An estimate is the price before you start, for the customer to approve. An invoice is the bill once the work is done. When the job’s done, use the electrical invoice template.
