About Pro Business Tips

Pro Business Tips is a suite of free business calculators and generators built for freelancers and small business owners. No account required, no paywalls — just the tools you need to price your work, understand your numbers, and run your business.

The tools cover the decisions that come up constantly when you run your own business: figuring out what to charge as a freelancer, calculating markup and profit margins, estimating startup costs before you launch, and understanding LLC formation costs by state. There's also a barcode generator and receipt generator for day-to-day operational needs.

Every calculator runs entirely in your browser. Your inputs are never sent to a server or stored anywhere. The math is transparent — if you want to verify a result, the formula is right there.

Pro Business Tips is funded by affiliate relationships with software products we recommend on the site — accounting tools, payroll software, and similar services built for the same audience. We only feature products we'd recommend regardless, and affiliate relationships never influence which tools rank higher or get better write-ups.

Tools currently available: freelance rate calculator, markup calculator, profit margin calculator, startup cost calculator, LLC cost by state, barcode generator, and receipt generator — with more planned.
