Job Quote & Bill Maker

How it works

1. Pick your trade. There are seven: Electrician, Plumber, Carpenter, Painter, AC & fridge technician, Mason & tile work, and Handyman / other. Each one brings its own list of common jobs and common materials.
2. Fill in “Your business” once. Your name or the business's name, what you do, your phone, and if you like an address, a tax number, a logo, how customers can pay you, and one of six colours for your papers. These stay on this device and go on every paper you make.
3. Type the customer and the job. The customer's name and phone, the site address, and the job in one line — “Rewiring of the first floor”.
4. Add the lines. Under Work and materials, tap a job in the list to add it as a line, then type the quantity and your rate. + Labour line and + Material line add a line of your own.
5. Send it. The paper on the page is the finished quotation. Send it as a PDF, as a picture, or as a link by WhatsApp, text message or e-mail.

There is no “save” button. Everything is kept as you type, in this browser, and the job is in Your jobs when you come back.

Lines, quantities and rates

A line is one piece of work or one material: a description, a quantity, a unit, and a rate. The amount is the quantity multiplied by the rate. Labour lines are printed first and materials after them, each under its own heading, and the paper shows the two subtotals when a job has both.

The unit box suggests nos, point, job, visit, hour, day, ft, rft, m, sq ft, sq m, kg, litre, bag, box, coil and others, and takes any unit of your own up to 12 letters. The Labour or Material button on a line moves it to the other group, and the arrows move it up and down. One paper holds 80 lines.

Your rate card

The lists have no rates in them, on purpose. A rate that is right in one town is wrong in the next, and yours is not your neighbour's. Instead, every rate you type is remembered for that trade on this device. The next time you tap the same job, its rate is already filled in, and the list shows it beside the name. Lines you invent yourself join the list with a dashed outline.

Open Your rate card under the lines to see everything remembered so far, change a rate, or forget one. Changing a rate there changes what is filled in from now on. It does not touch quotations you have already written.

Discount, tax, round off and advance

The sums are always done in the same order: the lines are added up, the discount comes off, the tax is worked out on what is left, and the total can then be rounded to a whole number.

The discount can be a percentage or a plain amount. The tax can be given any name and any rate; with rupees chosen it starts as GST, with buttons for 5% and 18%. The total is also written in words — in lakh and crore for rupees, in thousands and millions for the other nine currencies. Advance to start work prints under the total of a quotation; the 50% button fills in half the total.

The tax is printed as one line. This is a simple bill, not a GST tax invoice: it has no HSN or SAC codes and does not split the tax into CGST and SGST. If you are registered for tax, ask your accountant what your invoice must carry. To work out a tax split, use the GST Calculator.

From quotation to bill to receipt

A job starts as a quotation with the next number in your series: Q-001, Q-002 and so on. Type a number of your own, such as SE/2026/0250, and the next job follows it with 0251.

When the work is done, tap Make the bill for this job. The job gets a bill number (B-001 onwards) and today's date, and its status moves to Work done. The lines stay as they are, and you can still change them — to add extra work the customer asked for, or to put in the real cost of materials.

Under Money received, add each payment with its date and how it was paid: cash, UPI, bank transfer, cheque or card. An advance can be recorded before there is a bill. The bill then prints the amount received and the balance due. Once a payment is recorded, the Receipt paper is available: it says who paid, the sum in figures and words, each payment, and what is still due. When the balance reaches zero the job is marked Paid.

Quotations in Malayalam and Hindi

Under Customer and job, Language of the paper has three choices: English, മലയാളം and हिन्दी. The choice belongs to the job, so one customer can get a Malayalam quotation and the next an English one. A new job starts in the language you used last.

The message that goes with the link is written in the same language, and so are the buttons on the page your customer opens. The figures stay in ordinary digits. The amount is written in Malayalam or Hindi words when the money is rupees; in any other currency the words stay in English.

The ready-made lists of jobs, materials and notes are in English, as most trades name them. To have a line in your own language, type it yourself: it is printed as typed, and it is remembered in your rate card with its rate, so you type it only once. This page — the boxes and buttons you work with — stays in English.

Sending it to the customer

The whole paper is packed inside the link, so nothing is stored on a server and the link keeps working. Two things follow from that. The link cannot carry your logo; the PDF and the picture do. And if you change the job later, a link you have already sent still shows the old paper, so send it again.

The WhatsApp button opens the customer's own chat when their number starts with + and the country code. A ten-digit number is taken as an Indian one when your money is in rupees. Otherwise WhatsApp opens and you pick the chat.

The materials list and the job-site sums

The Materials paper is the shopping list: every material line with its quantity and unit, a box to tick and room for a brand, and no prices. Send it to the shop, or print it for the helper.

Three sums save the back of an envelope. Each has a button that adds its answer to the quotation as a line.

• Paint area — twice the length plus the width, times the height, gives the walls. The doors and windows come off, the ceiling is added if you tick it, and the answer is multiplied by the number of coats. Type what one litre covers, from the tin, and it gives the litres as well.
• Tiles — the area divided by the size of one tile, plus your percentage for cutting and breakage (it starts at 10), rounded up to whole tiles and whole boxes.
• Wire and pipe lengths — the runs you measured added together, plus your spare percentage, and the number of coils or lengths to buy.

Site notes keep what you saw on the visit, room by room. They print on the Materials list only, never on the customer's papers.

What it does not do

It does not suggest a price. It does not choose a wire size, a pipe size, a breaker or a mix, and it does not check your work against any code. Those are your trade and your responsibility. The sums only add up the sizes you type.

It does not keep your jobs anywhere but this browser. They are not on your other phone, and they are lost if the browser's data is cleared. Back up to a file saves every job, your business details and your rate card in one file; Bring back from a file on another device adds the jobs that are not already there.

It does not collect payments or chase them. The balance in Your jobs is there so that you can.
