​
Fixed Price

Choose how to handle fixed-price proposals:

​
1/ By Job Terms

Uses the budget specified by the client on Upwork. You can configure:
  1. Minimum Budget (optional)
    If the client’s budget is lower than your minimum budget, your minimum budget will be used instead.
  2. Budget Percentage (optional)
    Specify what percentage of the client’s budget to bid. Default is 100%. For example, if the client’s budget is $500 and you set 115%, your bid will be $575.

​
2/ Fixed Project Price

Set a fixed price that will be used regardless of what budget the client specifies. You can also enable “Use project job term price if it’s higher than your value” to use the client’s budget if it’s higher than your fixed price.
