estimateobjectDuring the process of signing up customers to subscriptions, use the Estimates API to evaluate the details of the purchase before actually signing them up. The details returned by the API include the invoice amounts, next billing date and unbilled charges. For example, consider that you are creating a new subscription or update an existing one. Use the Estimates API before that to deduce the details such as the amount the customer would be charged, the state the subscription would be in after creation or updation, and so on. If you have configured the [Avalara integration](https://www.chargebee.com/docs/2.0/avalara.html), Chargebee retrieves the tax amount from Avalara for the invoice. This counts against your Avalara API limits.
