What a good quote includes
A quote or estimate is a price proposal before the client accepts. It should include your details and the client's, a number and a date, the detail of each item with its quantity and price, the total, and how long the price is valid.
This tool calculates the subtotal, applies the discount and adds the tax using the percentage you type. It does not know the tax rules of any country: the tax is a number you enter yourself. You can use the quote as a base and then issue the official invoice that applies.
