Frequently asked questions about creating a quote
How do I create a quote for free?
Enter your company details and your customer's details above, add the line items and click 'Download as PDF'. Done – no sign-up needed.
What does a quote in Germany need to include?
A professional quote contains your company details, the customer's details, a quote number, the date, how long the quote is valid, the individual items with prices, the VAT amount and the payment terms.
Can I use the tool as a small business (Kleinunternehmer)?
Yes. Just untick "Show VAT (MwSt)". The quote then shows only the net amount – as required for small businesses under § 19 of the German VAT Act (UStG).
Is a quote legally binding in Germany?
In principle, a quote is legally binding once the customer receives it. Adding the note "Freibleibendes Angebot" (non-binding offer) keeps you flexible – the generator adds this note by default.
