Calculators

Numbers from real editors, not a rate card.

Every calculator here reads the live roster: published package prices, stated turnaround and capacity, and how long reviews and revisions actually took. Each result has its own link, so you can send the exact answer to whoever signs off.

The price ladder

What one video costs, by package.

Each band is every active editor's published price for that package. The filled part is the middle half; the pin is the median. Add 5% for the client fee.

Inputs

Every figure, with its sample size.

If the records behind a figure contradict each other, we withhold it and the calculator asks you for your own number instead. 2 figures are withheld today.
