Clients love choices, but choices without prices cause confusion. A client who asks what the upgrade costs should get a clear answer, not a vague promise to work it out later. This free quote option pricer prices optional add-ons on a quote as a list, so a client sees the base price and the cost of each extra. Enter the base price, add each option with its price, and the tool totals everything. It runs in your browser, with no sign-up and no cost.
Using it is simple. Type the base price of the job, for example 1,000. Then type an option name, such as premium finish, and its price, such as 150, and press Add option. Repeat for every extra: faster delivery, extended warranty, upgraded materials, or anything else you offer. The list, the options total, and the grand total update with each addition. Press Clear options to start a new quote.
Here is a worked example. A website package has a base price of 1,000. The client adds a premium finish for 150, extra pages for 200, and priority support for 100. The options total 450, and the grand total is 1,450. The client can now choose confidently: take all three, take one, or take none, and still know the base job costs 1,000. That clarity removes the most common cause of quote arguments, which is a total nobody can break down.
Option pricing also helps you sell without pressure. When extras are listed with honest prices, the client chooses rather than being pushed. Many clients pick one or two extras they genuinely value, which raises the job value in a way both sides feel good about. Compare that with a single take-it-or-leave-it price, where the client either overpays for things they do not want or walks away because the package feels too big.
This tool suits designers, builders, photographers, caterers, event suppliers, and any business with upgrades or add-ons. A photographer might list extra hours, a second shooter, and a printed album. A builder might list upgraded tiles, underfloor heating, and smart controls. Whatever your trade, keep option names short and specific, and price each one the same way for every client, so the list stays fair.
Price options with care. Each option price should cover its real cost plus a fair margin, including any extra time it adds to the job. Do not price an option at zero to win the job and then resent delivering it. Do not bundle a necessary item as an optional extra either; if the job cannot be done properly without it, it belongs in the base price. Honest option lists build trust, and trust brings the next job.
This calculator is an estimating aid, not financial or legal advice. It totals numbers you enter; it does not check whether your prices cover tax, overheads, or the true cost of delivering each option. Keep your option prices under review as material and labour costs change, and confirm the final selection in writing before work starts, so both sides agree on exactly which extras are included.
Try it on your next quote with choices. Build the base price, list every genuine extra, and send the client the breakdown instead of a single number. Watch how much faster clients decide when they can see what each choice costs. Clear options turn a quote from a hurdle into a menu, and menus, presented honestly, sell very well indeed.
Review your option list every few months and remove options nobody chooses, while adding ones clients keep requesting. An option list that grows stale stops helping: clients ignore a long list of irrelevant extras, but they respond well to a short list of choices that match real projects. Ask past clients which extras they valued most, and let their answers shape the next version of your list.
