FAQ
- How much deposit should I ask for on a project?
- A common range for freelance and agency work is 25-50% upfront, though it varies by industry, project size, and how well you know the client. Larger or longer projects often split the remainder into milestone payments rather than one lump sum at the end.
- Why ask for a deposit at all?
- It covers your time and materials if a client cancels partway through, and it filters out clients who aren't serious about the project before you invest real time in it.
- Is my data sent anywhere?
- No. The calculation runs entirely in your browser -- nothing is sent to a server.
