Video Production Rate Calculator and Quote Builder

Build a practical video production estimate from the brief through pre-production, crew, equipment, post-production, add-ons, travel, per diem, and usage rights.

The guided builder recommends a production setup, keeps every rate editable, and compares Lean, Recommended, and Full Coverage options. Save the result to SupaBook to create a reviewable Smart File proposal with a payment page.

What a video production estimate should include

• Discovery, treatment, scripting, storyboards, scouting, and production coordination.
• Shoot days, crew roles, overtime, camera, lighting, sound, locations, permits, and talent.
• Editing, color, sound mix, graphics, captions, cutdowns, music, stock, and specialty vendors.
• Mileage, paid travel days, lodging, per diem, airfare, parking, tolls, and negotiated usage rights.

Use the Video Licensing Calculator for a detailed rights estimate, then keep the final scope, option selection, approval, and payment together with SupaBook proposal software.

Rate references, not universal prices

Video rates change by market, agreement, crew role, equipment, project complexity, travel, and usage. The optional U.S. union-commercial crew values are clearly labeled references and remain editable. Confirm local crew, rental, talent, travel, and licensing quotes before sending a client proposal.

Review AICP bidding resources, the IATSE-AICP wage charts, current IRS mileage rates, GSA per diem rates, and the international per diem lookup.
