Estimating a electrical job
An electrical estimate prices a wiring, panel or fixture job up front. The generator is pre-filled with labor, materials and a permit/inspection line — adjust them for the scope.
An electrical estimate should describe the work, separate labor from materials and from permit/inspection fees, and reference code requirements where relevant. Note that opening walls can reveal issues that change the price.
Always itemize the permit and inspection — skipping permits is a red flag to good customers, and itemizing them justifies your bid against an unlicensed lowball. Reference the panel/circuit details so the scope is unmistakable.

Frequently asked questions
How do I estimate an electrical job?
List labor (hours × rate), materials and fixtures, and permit/inspection fees as separate lines, describe the scope, and reference code where relevant. The generator pre-fills these lines and a client acceptance line — edit them, set a validity date, and export a PDF.
Should an electrical estimate include permit fees?
Yes — list the permit and inspection as their own line. Licensed electrical work usually requires a permit, and itemizing it shows the customer the job is being done to code, which helps your bid stand up against cheaper unpermitted offers.
What should an estimate include?
A clear estimate has the word “Estimate” and a unique number, your business and contact info, the client’s name, the date and how long the price is valid, an itemized breakdown of labor and materials with quantities and rates, the subtotal and estimated total, plus terms and a line for the client to accept. The generator includes a field for each.
How long should an estimate be valid?
Thirty days is the common default, which is the tool’s starting value. Setting a clear validity window protects you if material or labor costs rise — after it expires you can re-price the job. The “valid until” date fills in automatically from the date and the validity period you enter.
Is the estimate generator free?
Yes — completely free, with no account, no watermark and no limit. It runs entirely in your browser, so your client and pricing details stay on your device, and your business info is saved locally so you don’t retype it next time.
