Freelance Quote Builder
Build a professional project quote in minutes. Add your line items, choose a milestone schedule, and copy the formatted quote.
How This Works
The Quote Builder helps you create a structured, professional-looking project quote in three steps. Select your profession, add deliverables with hours and rates, choose a payment milestone schedule, then copy the formatted output to paste into an email or proposal document.
Use the milestone feature to protect your cash flow. Never start a project without an upfront deposit, and tie payments to concrete deliverable milestones rather than arbitrary dates.
Frequently Asked Questions
What milestone split should I use?
For most freelance projects, 50/50 (half upfront, half on delivery) is the simplest and safest. For larger projects over $5,000, consider a three-part split to maintain steady cash flow.
Should every line item have the same rate?
Not necessarily. Strategy and consultation work often commands a higher rate than execution. Some freelancers charge a premium for rush work or specialized technical tasks.
Can I use this as a legal contract?
This generates a quote summary, not a legal contract. Use it as a starting point for proposals. Pair it with a proper freelance contract that covers scope, revisions, kill fees, and IP ownership.
