# Quote

> Calculate and preview pricing for any plan and unit combination before creating a subscription

Quote is a live pricing calculator built into the Product Catalogue. It lets you select any plan, enter a unit count, and apply a discount to see the exact calculated price without creating a subscription or committing to any billing.

It's useful for checking pricing before sending a quote to a customer, verifying your fee structure is configured correctly, or quickly answering "how much would X units cost on this plan?"

## How to use it

Click <Badge>Quote</Badge> in the sidebar to open the calculator.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Select a Plan">
    Use the **Plan** dropdown to choose the plan you want to price. All plans in your organisation are available.

    Once a plan is selected, the calculator loads its pricing configuration and displays a result immediately.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter a unit count">
    Type the number of units you want to price. The result updates as you type.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Apply a discount">
    <Badge color="yellow">Optional</Badge> Enter a discount percentage to see the discounted amount. This mirrors how a discount applied to a subscription would affect the billing amount.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Info>
  Quote cannot be used for Flat Fee plans.

## The pricing breakdown

<Info>
  For tiered, volume, and stairstep plans.
</Info>

Below the inputs, the calculator shows the full pricing breakdown for the selected combination. This includes a line-by-line breakdown of how each tier contributes to the total, making it easy to verify your fee structure is working as expected.

The total displayed is the final amount after any discount, in the plan's currency.

## What Quote is not

Quote does not generate a shareable quote document, create a subscription, or produce an invoice. It is a calculation tool only.

To create a subscription based on a quote, go to [Subscriptions](/billing-workspace/subscriptions-workspace) and click <Badge>New</Badge>.

## Price Preview in plan creation

The same pricing calculator is also available when creating or editing [plans](/product-catalogue/plans-catalogue) as **Price Preview**. The behaviour is identical, you enter a unit count and see the calculated amount, but it is scoped to the plan you are currently building.

See [Plans](/product-catalogue/plans-catalogue) for more on using Price Preview during plan setup.
