Turn the commercial deal into numbers before you sign
Choose the closest example, enter the project fee, deposit, included revisions, and possible change work. The calculation keeps the signed scope and any extras visible.
- Describe deliverables and exclusions so both parties can test what is in scope.
- Set one review window and require consolidated revision notes.
- Approve scope, price, and timing in writing before extra work begins.
General drafting and arithmetic aid, not legal or tax advice. A contract label does not determine worker classification; actual facts and applicable federal, state, and local law control.

| Base fee | the agreed project fee or working cap | your input |
| Deposit | base fee × deposit percentage | calculated |
| Possible extras | approved extra hours × extra-work rate | scenario only |

The calculator makes commercial terms visible; it does not approve extra work or determine taxes, employment status or enforceability.
Step by step
What to do, in order

Questions
Is the contract template free?
Yes. Fill it in and download the editable Word agreement without paying or signing up.
How many revision rounds should I include?
Use a clear number that fits the project and require one consolidated list per round. New direction or deliverables should follow the written change process.
Does calling someone an independent contractor make it so?
No. The IRS says the written label alone is not sufficient; the actual behavioral control, financial control and relationship facts matter.
When should ownership transfer?
State the agreed trigger clearly, often full payment, and identify pre-existing tools and third-party licensed materials separately.
Should a lawyer review the agreement?
Yes for important, high-value, regulated, unusual or state-specific work. This is a general drafting aid, not legal or tax advice.
