Need to outline taxes in your document, or show your prospect how much they’re saving? This article can help you out.

If you’re building your table, taxes are a good idea to include so your customer knows exactly what to expect from an invoice. If you have discounts, you’ll want to highlight those as well. You can add both to Proposify and even highlight them in ways to help them stand out.

Taxes and Table Discounts

Taxes and Discounts can be added to the footer of your pricing table. Taxes will be calculated without discounts applied. Discounts will be deducted from the amount after tax.

Add a tax or discount

To add a tax, select the pricing table and expand Summary options at the bottom left of the table:

Once expanded. Select Tax or Discount:

Set the toggle to on. Next, label the tax/discount and add the percentage to charge:

If you’re adding a discount, you can also select whether to discount a percentage of the total or a flat dollar amount.

Once complete, you can select anywhere outside the menu. Your tax/discount will be shown in the footer, along with the subtotal and the newly calculated grand total:

Edit or remove a table tax/discount

Either Select the pricing table and expand the Summary options menu, found to the left of the table:

Likewise, if there are other parts of the footer (or the entire footer itself) that you’d rather your prospect did not see, you can hide them here in the Display Settings menu by selecting the checkbox next to the label.

Remove Taxes From the Document Total

You can prevent taxes from displaying in the preview footer from the Pricing menu found at the top right of your Editor:
