Free Software Developer Quote Template
Software developers quote by phase or by estimated hours because requirements change as stakeholders see working prototypes. A quote should break the project into milestones so cost overruns at one phase don't silently inflate the total.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a freelance software developer charge?
Senior freelance software developers in Europe charge €80 to €150 per hour. A typical 3-month product development project with one developer costs €20,000 to €45,000. More complex systems requiring a dev team cost proportionally more. Always quote in phases: discovery, MVP build, testing, launch.
How should a software development quote handle changing requirements?
Include a change request clause. Any new feature or significant change to the spec generates a change request form with a new quote. Without this, clients often add features mid-project under the assumption they're included. Small changes may be absorbed; major ones must be quoted separately.
What happens if a software project goes over the quoted hours?
Agree on a process upfront. Some developers quote a fixed total with no overrun; others quote a ceiling with an hourly overflow rate for anything beyond scope. The second approach is more transparent. State in the quote that work exceeding the quoted hours will be flagged before proceeding.
