Hey Product Hunt! I built BidKit because I was tired of the guessing game every time I needed to price a video production project. I'd open a spreadsheet, forget line items, second-guess my rates, and end up either undercharging or overcomplicating things. So I built a free calculator with 80+ pre-loaded line items across 7 categories — crew, equipment, post-production, travel, the works. Toggle what you need, adjust rates for your market, and get an instant total with profit margin and tax built in. The Pro upgrade ($19-$29) generates a professional proposal or legal contract auto-filled from your estimate. Every word is editable before you download. The calculator is completely free, no account needed, and your data never leaves your browser. Would love your feedback — what would make this more useful for you?
