Quote Calculator
Businessweight 1tracker · keeps what you put in
Every quote is a small wager between hope and experience. The Quote Calculator makes you write the wager down: for each project, an optimistic figure, a realistic one, a pessimistic one, and a buffer percentage — because the number you'd rather not think about is usually the one that saves you.
This is not a screenshot. It's the real tool, running right here — go on, put something in it.

Questions people ask
How do I estimate a freelance project quote?
Three-point estimating: you record your optimistic, realistic and pessimistic figures side by side, plus a buffer percentage for the surprises. Seeing all three on one line makes it much harder to quote the fantasy number.
Are my client quotes and pricing kept private?
Completely — the tool is one HTML file running offline in your browser. No account, no cloud, nothing leaves the page. Your pricing stays between you and your keyboard.
Why keep old quotes after the project is done?
Because the list becomes your track record: which estimate came true, project after project. Most freelancers discover their pessimistic column was the realist all along, and quote better for knowing it.
