      <body>&lt;p&gt;When posting a &quot;Fixed Price&quot; job*, employers will indicate their budget range as they post the job. Providers can then submit proposals within acceptable ranges. In other words, providers have to adhere to a minimum amount depending on the range selected by the employer. Below is a table that shows the minimum acceptable amounts for each budget range.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;table style=&quot;height: 212px;&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; width=&quot;423&quot;&gt;
&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;Job Posting&amp;nbsp;Budget&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Proposal Minimum&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;$50-$500&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;$50&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;$500-$1,000&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;$350&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;$1,000-$5000&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;$700&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;$5,000-10,0000&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;$3,500&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;$10,000-$25,0000&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;$7,000&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;$25,000-$50,000&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;$17,500&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;$50,000-$100,000&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;$35,000&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Greater than $100,000&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;$70,000&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;* When a job gets posted on Elance by an employer, the job can be listed
as either as a &quot;Fixed Price&quot; job or &quot;Hourly.&quot;&amp;nbsp; Fixed Price jobs are ideal
for any work where the end-result is a clearly defined deliverable
while Hourly may be more appropriate for less-defined or ongoing tasks.&lt;/p&gt;</body>
