Videography Pricing Calculator
Quote video the way it shoots: the shoot day, the edit, the add-ons, with licensing and gear counted, then your overhead and profit.
Videographers quote the shoot and lose the edit. Anvil HUD prices video the way it runs: the half or full day shoot, editing by the finished minute or the cut, reels, color grading, and motion graphics. Music and stock licensing, gear, and travel get counted as real costs, a contingency covers reshoots, and your overhead and profit go on top, so the delivery price covers the whole job.
How we price videography & video editing
- Each part is a line: a half or full day shoot, editing per finished minute or per cut, reels, color, and motion graphics, almost all your time.
- Real pass-throughs get counted: music and stock licensing, gear and software, travel and crew. A contingency covers reshoots and footage issues.
- Overhead and profit go on as a percent. Branded video is often recurring, so a retainer fits, and the Quick start templates (promo, reels, real-estate) start the quote fast.

Questions
How much should I charge for a promo video?▾
Build it up: the shoot (half or full day), the editing by finished minute, color, and any motion graphics, plus music licensing. Anvil HUD's 'Promo video' template drops those in at 2026 starting rates, then loads your overhead and profit.
How do I price social reels?▾
Batch them: one shoot day plus a per-reel edit rate is far cheaper per reel than shooting each separately. The Quick start 'Social reels package' prices five at once, and you tune the count to the client.
