/calculators/content-roi$996.92 of value from 712K views, against $42 of editing (fee included). Return on the edit: 2274%.
Views: median of 259 published cuts across the platform. Value: what 6 CPM-priced jobs here pay editors per 1,000 views ($0.50–$3). That is a floor on what the views were worth to the people who posted those jobs, not what they are worth to you — replace it with your own number. Reported views come from the editors' portfolios: they are the cuts editors chose to show, so they skew towards hits.
How the number is made.
Every figure on this page is computed from the live roster and the order records, and the result above is the same arithmetic the server ran for this link.
Median package price for your filters × videos per month, fee included.
Views per video × videos × value per 1,000 views. Measured medians unless you type your own.
Quieter and stronger months use the 25th and 75th percentile of measured views, so you see the range, not one lucky number.
What we measured, and what we would not.
A figure we cannot measure cleanly is withheld and the calculator asks you instead. A guess presented as data would make every result below it wrong.
