How to build a reliable video production price
JobPrice starts with a benchmark of £1,400 per finished minute, applies a minimum of £1,800, then adjusts for quantity, service level, country or market and display currency.
Finished minutes do not show the whole workload. Script, locations, crew, animation and approval rounds should be stated in the production scope.
Method note: JobPrice benchmarks are broad planning models, not live supplier quotes. Confirm current local rates, tax, regulation, access and the final specification. Read the full pricing methodology.
