Never start work unpaid again. Enter a project total, choose how to split it — a deposit plus one to three milestone payments — and get every amount instantly, with a check that the split adds up to 100%. Runs in your browser, nothing uploaded.
Starting a project on a promise is how freelancers end up chasing money. A deposit up front confirms the client is serious and pays for your early work, and splitting the rest into milestone payments means you are never carrying weeks of unpaid work at once. The only friction is the maths — and doing it in your head while quoting is how mistakes creep in.
This calculator removes that friction. Put in the project total, pick two, three or four payments, and tap a quick-split preset (50/50, 40/30/30, even) or type your own percentages. It shows the exact amount for each payment, highlights the deposit to request first, and flags it immediately if your percentages don't add up to 100%.
The first payment, highlighted, so you know exactly what to request before starting.
Each payment's amount from your percentages, ready to drop into a quote or contract.
50/50, 40/30/30 and even splits in one tap, or set your own.
Live warning if the percentages don't sum to 100, so a split never silently under- or over-bills.
Name each stage (on signing, draft approved, on delivery) to match your workflow.
Runs entirely in your browser. Your project values never leave your computer.
A payment schedule only protects you once it's in writing. Set the project price with the rate calculator or build a line-item quote, write the deposit and milestone terms into a contract, then bill each stage with the invoice generator as you hit it.
