This free quote comparison tool helps you work out a side by side comparison of two or three supplier quotes, with delivery added, so the cheapest like-for-like total stands out. It runs fully in your browser, needs no account, and gives a clear answer in seconds, so you can stop guessing and start with numbers you can trust. It is made for small business owners and freelancers, not for accountants, and every field is explained in plain words on the tool itself.
To use it, fill in the fields above and press the button. The tool checks your numbers, runs the calculation, and shows the result right below the tool. If a number looks wrong, change it and press the button again. Nothing is saved on a server, and you can use the tool as many times as you like, for one client or for many.
It adds the delivery charge to each quote price, because a cheap price with expensive delivery is not actually cheap, and then compares the three totals. The lowest total wins, and ties keep the earliest quote, which is a fair rule when two suppliers cost exactly the same. The point is like-for-like comparison, so delivery and terms must be included before any winner is declared.
For example, quotes of 800 plus 50 delivery, 750 plus 120 delivery, and 900 with free delivery give totals of 850, 870 and 900, so the first quote wins even though its price was not the lowest. Change the second quote to 700 with free delivery and it wins at 700, which shows how delivery alone can flip the result.
Reading the result is simple: take the headline figure as your starting point, then check it against what you know about the real job. Prices, distances and payment habits all change from one client to the next, so a tool result is a strong guide, not a promise, and your own judgement still matters for the final decision.
Check that all quotes cover the same scope before you compare prices, because the cheapest quote for a smaller job is not a bargain. Note payment terms and delivery times beside the totals in your own notes, since a slow supplier can cost more than the saving on paper.
A common mistake is trusting a single calculation and never checking it again. Re-run the tool when prices change, when a client changes the scope, or when a payment arrives late, because stale numbers quietly lead to undercharging and awkward conversations. Keep a short note of each result with the client name and the date, so you can explain any figure later without searching through old messages.
Over the next few weeks, use this tool as part of a simple weekly routine. Set aside a short time each week to update your figures, chase anything overdue, and review what the numbers are telling you about your business. A pattern over several weeks is far more useful than one good or bad day, because it shows which clients pay on time, which jobs earn well, and where your time actually goes. Small steady habits, repeated every week, build a business that is easier to run and easier to grow, and this tool is meant to make one small part of that routine faster and clearer.
This tool gives estimates for everyday business planning only and does not replace professional financial or tax advice. Use it to plan, to compare and to keep clear records, and ask a qualified professional when a decision involves large sums, contracts or tax rules. Try it with your own numbers now, and come back whenever a new invoice, quote or payment needs a quick, honest answer.
