Business Proposal Generator — guide & how to use

What it does

This free business proposal generator turns a handful of inputs — your details, the client, the problem, your solution, scope, pricing, timeline and terms — into a polished, multi-page proposal you can download as a PDF and send to win the work. It's built for freelancers, agencies and small B2B service providers who need a professional document without a paywalled SaaS sign-up. The live preview updates as you type, the money math is computed in integer cents so every figure reconciles, and everything runs 100% in your browser.

How to use it

  1. Enter your business name & contact and the client's details. Personalizing a proposal — naming the client and restating their problem — is the single biggest driver of acceptance.
  2. Write the problem statement, your proposed solution, and list each deliverable under Scope of work. Spell out what's not included to prevent scope creep.
  3. Add your pricing line items. Itemizing builds more trust than a single lump sum. Set the currency, any discount and tax rate.
  4. Set the deposit %, timeline (weeks), number of milestones, payment terms (Net days), validity window and late fee. The payment schedule and phase table generate automatically.
  5. Optionally add your logo and an accent color, then click Download Proposal PDF.

Worked example

Say you're proposing a website redesign with two line items — Design & build at $8,000 and Content migration at $2,000 — a 5% early-acceptance discount, no tax, a 50% deposit, a 6-week timeline split into 3 phases, and Net-15 terms.

  1. Subtotal = $8,000 + $2,000 = $10,000.00
  2. Discount (5% of subtotal) = $500.00 → taxable base = $9,500.00
  3. Tax (0%) = $0.00, so Grand Total = $9,500.00
  4. Deposit due now (50%) = $4,750.00; balance = $9,500.00 − $4,750.00 = $4,750.00
  5. Milestones (3, equal split of the $4,750 balance): $1,583.33, $1,583.33, $1,583.34 — the remaining cent goes on the final milestone, so deposit + the three milestones add up to $9,500.00 exactly.
  6. Timeline: 6 weeks ÷ 3 phases = 2 weeks each → Phase 1 weeks 1–2, Phase 2 weeks 3–4, Phase 3 weeks 5–6.

Notice the order: discount is subtracted before tax is applied, and the balance is derived by subtracting the deposit from the total — never computed independently — so the parts always reconcile to the penny.

Notes & disclaimers

This tool generates a formatting/template document, not legal or tax advice. The terms, late-fee and IP clauses are common-practice boilerplate — review them (and consult a lawyer/accountant where the stakes are high) before sending. Tax handling is intentionally simple: a single flat rate applied to the post-discount subtotal. It does not handle multi-jurisdiction tax, reverse-charge VAT, or tax-exempt line items — adjust the exported figures if your situation is complex.

All money math is performed in integer cents internally and rounded half-up at display, so the printed line items, subtotal, discount, tax and grand total always reconcile. The defaults — 50% deposit, Net-15 terms, 30-day validity, 1.5%/month late fee — are common market norms for freelancers and agencies (typical ranges: 30–50% deposit, Net-7 to Net-30, 7/14/30-day validity), not regulated standards. Adjust to your contract and local law.

Frequently asked questions

How do I write a business proposal?

Open with a cover and short summary, restate the client's problem in their words, describe your solution, list the exact scope (and what's not included), then show an itemized investment table, a payment schedule with a deposit, a timeline, your terms, and a signature block. This tool builds all of those sections from a few inputs and exports a PDF.

In what order are tax and discount applied?

Discount first, then tax. The tool computes Subtotal, subtracts the discount, then applies the tax rate to that post-discount amount. Applying tax before the discount would inflate the total — a common mistake.

How is the deposit and balance calculated?

Deposit due now = Grand Total × the deposit percentage. The balance is always derived by subtracting the deposit from the Grand Total, so the deposit and balance add up to the total exactly — never a 1-cent mismatch.

Is this legal or tax advice?

No. This is a formatting and template tool, not legal or tax advice. The terms, late-fee and IP clauses are common-practice boilerplate; the tax handling is a single flat rate on the post-discount subtotal. Have a lawyer or accountant review before sending where the stakes are high.

Does my data leave my browser?

No. Everything is generated locally in your browser — no sign-up to preview, no server, nothing uploaded. That's the core difference from paywalled or sign-up-gated proposal SaaS tools. A free account is only needed to download the finished PDF.

What deposit and payment terms are standard for freelancers?

Common norms are a 30–50% upfront deposit, Net-7 to Net-30 payment terms, a 7/14/30-day proposal validity window, and a 1–5% per month late fee. The tool defaults to 50% deposit, Net-15, 30-day validity and 1.5%/month — adjust to your contract and local law.
