Estimate total UGC production cost from idea to finished video

Total UGC production cost is more than the creator fee. It runs from the first script to the finished, tested ad. This page helps you estimate the whole thing.

The full production chain

  • Scripts, hooks and briefs
  • Creator fees and usage rights
  • Editing, captions and variations
  • Revisions and redos
  • Internal management and coordination time

Add the whole chain, not just the shoot

Looking only at the creator fee understates the real cost. The calculator separates scripts, creators, editing and management so you see the full production cost per month, per delivered video, and per usable ad.

That makes it clear which step is your largest drag and where a workflow change may help most.

Any figure mentioned on this page is an example for illustration only, not a market price. Use your own numbers in the calculator for a closer estimate.
