Calculation notes
What this number means
The calculator adds direct phase costs, adds contingency as a reserve against that subtotal, then applies the production fee to the cost base. Enter one currency consistently; rates are supplied by you and are not market benchmarks.
Useful context
Before you use this estimate
Is this a quote I can send to a client?
No. It is a planning estimate from the assumptions you enter. Check the scope, rates, tax treatment, usage rights and contract terms before sending a quote.
Are my numbers uploaded or saved?
Calculations happen in this browser tab. The tool does not send entered numbers to a calculation server or save them to an account.
Which currency should I use?
Choose any supported display currency and use the same currency for every input. The calculator does not convert currencies or supply regional rates.
