How to use this calculator

Estimate a fair sponsorship quote from reach, production labor, contractual rights, revisions, rush work, and deductions. Enter the values for one consistent reporting period and select Calculate.

What the result means

The result combines media value, production labor, usage rights, exclusivity, revisions, and negotiation room.

Recommended fee = media value + production value + rights + exclusivity + revisions + rush fee, adjusted by negotiation buffer.

Usage rights and exclusivity should be priced separately.

Example calculation

At 100,000 views and a $30 CPM, media value is $3,000 before labor and rights premiums.

Tips for better results

  • Price expected reach, not follower count alone.
  • Charge separately for usage and exclusivity.
  • Define included revision rounds.
  • Add rush fees for compressed timelines.
  • Review net hourly earnings.
