GoProposal started life on an Excel spreadsheet, but it didn't provide a great client experience when agreeing on fees.
However, the calculations that were used in that spreadsheet were so valuable in achieving the correct price for each service.
When GoProposal was created, we wanted to preserve that complexity of cost calculation, but we wanted them presented to clients and team members in a simple way.
Here is how you can apply up to 5 levels of calculations to each line item:

Once you have chosen your basic pricing type, you can layer this up with calculations.
This will multiple/add/divide/subtract a value you choose to the basic pricing type.
