# Calculate Quote Price Without Creating a Formal Quote

This user journey applies when a customer wants to see an estimated quote price based on their requirements without having to save a formal quote.

Use the Quoting API if Quoting is managed within Salesforce. Use the Product Rating API when Quoting is not managed by Salesforce or when a third-party system handles the quoting process.

1. Calculate the quote price by using one of these methods.
    - **Quoting API**—Make a POST request on the [Insurance Quote](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.264.0.insurance_developer_guide.meta/insurance_developer_guide/connect_resources_insurance_quote.htm "HTML (New Window)") Connect API. Set the saveQuote parameter to false.
    - **Product Rating API**—Make a POST request on the [Insurance Product Rating](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.264.0.insurance_developer_guide.meta/insurance_developer_guide/connect_resources_product_rating.htm "HTML (New Window)") Connect API to generate a price-adjusted context based on user inputs without creating a formal quote.
