Document generators

Business name ideas from your own words

Use the words behind your business to explore possible names. Add your trade or service, optionally include a place or owner name, and choose a feel. The generator combines those entries with local word lists. It uses no AI, performs no network lookup and makes no promise that a suggested name is available.

Open tool

Free quote maker for written estimates

Put proposed work into an itemized estimate before discussing the price with a client. Enter your own quantities and rates, describe what is included and excluded, and check the live total. Download a PDF to share or a DOCX to edit. An estimate is not a contract; confirm the final scope and terms separately.

Open tool

Free invoice generator

Enter the business, client and work you supplied. Check quantities and agreed rates in the live preview, then download an invoice to send yourself. Nothing you enter is uploaded or stored by this tool; refresh or close the page to clear it.

Open tool

Make a receipt for a payment received

A receipt records money you have already received. Add who paid, what the payment covered, the amount, the method and the date paid, then check the preview before issuing it. This tool does not take or verify a payment. Microtra card charging is coming soon. The file is a payment record, not a tax document.

Pricing calculators

Hourly rate calculator

An hourly charge has to support more than the time spent doing client work. Start with the annual income you want to keep, add your business costs and allow for a tax set-aside you choose. Then spread that revenue target over the hours you expect to bill, with admin and other nonbillable time shown alongside.

Open tool

Late fee calculator

Check the arithmetic of a late payment fee using the terms in your own agreement. Choose a one-time flat fee, a monthly percentage or both. The result shows the added charge and unpaid balance; it does not determine whether your terms are lawful or enforceable.

Open tool

Lawn care pricing calculator

A mowable lawn, the time needed to reach it and the finish the customer expects all affect a visit price. Compare an area-based charge with a charge built from your hourly rate and mowing speed. Add edging and bagging separately, then multiply the visit price by the frequency you are quoting.

Open tool

Manual business mileage tracker and log

Build a business mileage log from trips you enter yourself. Record the date, starting point, destination and business purpose, then enter miles or starting and ending odometer readings. This tool does not provide GPS tracking or detect journeys. Add your own applicable rate to see a deduction estimate, then download the log before leaving the page.

Open tool

Painting estimate calculator

Turn one room's measurements into a wall-painting estimate. Subtract door and window openings, enter your paint's coverage and planned coats, and calculate labor from your own work speed. Paint, other supplies, labor and markup are shown separately so you can review what the price includes.

Open tool

Pressure washing price calculator

A driveway, house siding, a deck and a fence can need different work and different prices. Add each surface with its own measured area and your own square-foot rate. The calculator combines those amounts, adds travel and checks the total against the minimum charge you enter.

Open tool

Profit margin and markup calculator

Margin compares profit with selling price. Markup compares profit with cost. They describe the same transaction using different denominators, so a target markup is not the same as a target margin. Use the calculator to check the relationship before quoting.
