How the subtotal is calculated
The example line for upper cabinet allowance is 3 each × $240.00 = $720.00. This line is one part of the complete 7-item estimate and uses a fictional unit rate.
The document sums the rounded line amounts to $2,380.00. Tax and markup are not included; a zero tax field in a sample document does not mean a real project is tax-exempt. Confirm the actual treatment for the job you are quoting.
Measurement to verify: Measure appliance clearances, wall studs, door swing and usable counter length. Selection to verify: Separate cabinet, surface and fixing allowances from installation labor.
Assumptions and exclusions
Confirm appliances can be moved or protected and that ventilation and access remain usable.
Outside the stated scope: No appliance purchase, plumbing move, electrical alterations or floor works.
Hidden pipe or cable routes may require an adjusted fixing plan. If the scope changes after a client reviews the estimate, update the relevant quantities, allowances and written exclusions before sharing a revised PDF.
