# About Estimates

An estimate is an approximate calculation of a project's cost and time requirements. The Estimate Slips tab shows the slips you've created to guess the time and cost of a project; these slips correspond to single line items on an estimate.

Billings Pro creates high-quality PDF estimates that you can deliver to clients electronically, or by printing and sending by mail or fax. Although you can save a copy of an estimate anywhere, Billings Pro always keeps a copy of the PDF accessible from the Links tab of the project window.

Estimates are automatically numbered, according to the format you have set up in the Numbering pane of Billings Pro Preferences. As with invoices, you can customize the look and content of your estimates. Billings Pro comes with several styles, which you can easily modify, or you can design a template of your own.
