# Find your estimates

> See which estimates are ready for your approval, which your decorator is still pricing, and your past estimates.

An estimate is a price quote for a job, which you can turn into an order once you approve it. Select **Estimates** in the top menu to see yours.

</Frame>

The page has two tabs:

* **Estimates**: estimates you've submitted, with a count.
* **Draft Estimates**: estimates you started but haven't submitted yet. If you have any, a line at the top of **Estimates** shows how many are in progress and links to them.

To ask for a new quote, select **+ New estimate**.

## What's on the Estimates tab

Estimates are grouped by what happens next. A section only appears when it has estimates in it.

| Section | What it means |
| - | - |
| **Ready for your approval** | Your decorator has priced these. Each shows its estimate number, the date it was created, when it expires (for example *Expires in 30 days*), and the price. Select **Review & approve** to open it. |
| **Your team is pricing these** | Your decorator is still working out the price. These show **Quote pending**. You'll get a priced estimate to approve soon. Select **View** to see what you asked for. |
| **Past estimates** | Estimates that are finished, for example turned into an order, rejected, or expired. Select the section to expand it. |

Estimates waiting for your approval also appear under **Needs you** on your [Home page](/help/getting-started/home-page).

<Info>
  You need the **Estimator**, **Order**, or **Admin** role to create and edit estimates. See [Roles and permissions](/help/guides/roles-and-permissions).

<Note>
  A guide to reviewing and approving an estimate is coming soon.
