How the estimate works

The calculator starts from practical planning assumptions: short UGC videos cost more than photos, scripts cost less than filmed deliverables, creator experience increases price, paid usage rights add value, rush timing adds production pressure, and extra revisions add labor.

What this estimate does not include

Product shipping, creator props, location costs, or special production needs.
Whitelisting, exclusivity, long-term paid usage, or raw file buyouts unless negotiated.
Platform-specific ad spend. This estimates content production, not media buying.
