Reviewing Totals ​

Quoteworks automatically calculates your quote totals as you add and edit line items. You never need to manually add up prices — everything updates in real time.

How totals are calculated ​

  • Each section shows a subtotal based on the items it contains (quantity × unit price for each item).
  • The grand total at the bottom of the quote sums up all sections.
  • Items that are disabled (toggled off) are not included in the totals.
  • If a customer has toggled optional items on or off, the totals reflect their selections.

Totals by billing type ​

When your quote contains items with different billing types (one-time, monthly, annual, etc.), the totals section breaks them down separately. For example, you might see:

  • $15,000 one-time
  • $500/mo monthly
  • $2,400/yr annual

This makes it easy for your customer to understand exactly what's charged once and what recurs.

Section subtotals ​

Each section in the quote shows its own subtotal. If you're using bundle pricing, the section shows the fixed bundle price instead of summing individual items.

Where totals appear ​

Totals are visible in several places:

  • In the editor — as you build the quote, you can see running totals update in real time.
  • On the published quote — your customer sees a clear pricing summary at the bottom.
  • In the PDF — the downloaded PDF includes the full pricing breakdown.
  • On the quotes list — each quote card shows the total amount for quick reference.

Tips ​

  • Double-check before publishing. Review the totals to make sure quantities and prices are correct.
  • Use the billing type breakdown to ensure recurring costs are clearly communicated.
  • Disable items you want to show but not include in the price — for example, optional add-ons that the customer can choose to enable.
