Excel for entering all the estimates. I write down tasks, one-offs (eg license purchase) and subscription costs. For the tasks I add columns for different roles, because the rates differ. The fixed costs are also entered. Some tables are made based on this data, and added to a written word document.

It might seem old school, but a lot can differ based on project basis (e.g cooperation with other companies, 1 month vs 2 year projects). Word and excel are just flexible and easy enough for me.
