How to use the Quote Calculator
Project Level
Use this value to determine the quality and complexity of the project and the client status. Take into account factors like client, country, distribution of the final product, etc.
Level 1: A small studio working on an indie project.
Level 10: A well-known studio and a AAA project.
If you work with an outsourcing company, remember to evaluate your direct client, not the company at the top of the chain.
Time in Days
Type the number of days that will take you to finish the job. Try to be as accurate as possible. Consider that 1 day equals 8 hours of work.
Example: If you estimate finishing the work in 40 hours, input 5 days.
Years of Experience
Select your years of experience on the specific task that the project needs. This value will help reflect the fact that with more experience your time is more valuable.
Example: 6 Years of experience as a Character Artist. Even if you also worked 3 years as a Video Editor in the same industry.
Office and Equipment
This section refers to the depreciation of your equipment (PC, monitor, etc.) and the utilities required to perform the job.
This is only considered if you use your equipment and pay for your working space.
Software
Select only the software that you will use for the project. The cost will be calculated depending on the duration of the project. This is not the full price of the software.
If you purchased a Maya Indie license for one year and the project lasts 2 months, only a proportional part of the software cost will be reflected in the total amount.
