A wide view of the pricing sheet added to a payroll proposal template by a fictional business, Ashgrove People & Payroll, for Brightwater Bakeries: a Spreadsheet block with Headcount and Rates tabs and a formula bar. Typed-in headcounts of 48 weekly, 26 fortnightly and 12 monthly employees give 86 employees and about 276 payslips a month at $6.40 a payslip; connected cells set the payroll processing line's unit price of $1,766.40 and its description, the HR advice, leave admin and set-up lines; the price table's monthly total of $2,153.40 comes back into the sheet as $25.04 per employee per month, and a first-year value estimate.

What turns a template into your payroll proposal

A template gives you the structure. Three things make it Ashgrove's: the pricing sheet that prices it, the HR modules a client can tick, and the set-up fee paid as the client signs.

In the editor each connected line shows where it gets its numbers: the processing line's description and unit price come from cells in the Headcount tab, and the monthly total goes back into B14. Every line stays at a quantity of one; the sheet sets the price, never the quantity.

  • Your rate card as a Spreadsheet block (Essentials and up)
  • HR modules as optional lines the client ticks
  • Set-up fee paid on signing via Stripe or PayPal
  • Monthly charges shown, invoiced by you

Template questions

Does QuoteCloud have HR and payroll proposal templates?

Yes. The template library includes an HR Services Proposal and a Human Resources Proposal, employment and temporary employment contract layouts, and workplace policies for paid time off, harassment, overtime and hybrid work. Start from one, add your pricing sheet, content and payment step, and send.

Are the contract and policy templates legally compliant?

Treat them as starting layouts, not legal advice. Employment obligations differ by country and region, so adapt every contract and policy to your client's local obligations, or have them reviewed, before you use them. QuoteCloud doesn't check documents against any law.

Can you convert our existing Word proposal?

Yes. One template conversion is free during the trial on the Essentials, Business and Enterprise plans. Send us your current proposal and rate card spreadsheet and we'll build it as a QuoteCloud template. Onboarding and professional services are available if you want more help.

Can our Excel rate card go into the template?

Yes. The Spreadsheet block imports .xlsx files with their tabs and formulas, and it's on Essentials and up. Connect cells to price lines' descriptions and unit prices, and bring the price table total back into a cell. Your rates and formulas stay your own.
