Three ways
to scope the work.
These planning ranges use the smallest client profile and standard timing, for one day. Choose the scope that reflects your deliverables.
Expanded project
One expanded day with more coordination and production detail.
$8,100–$15,300 / day
Full production
One complex day for an enterprise or public-facing engagement.

Client size is a separate factor.
Small / Local business uses 1×. Medium / Growing company uses 2×. Large / Enterprise + national brand uses 4×. The calculator multiplies the base range by both the client and scope factors, rounds each end to the nearest $50, then applies quantity in the stated unit. An agreed quoted fee replaces the planning range and bypasses these multipliers.
Local business
One location, one brand, and a small decision-making team.
Growing company
Several locations or departments, more stakeholders, and wider coordination.
Enterprise
A national, franchise, enterprise, or multi-market organization.

- Written engagement
- Deliverables, dates, approvals, responsibilities, permissions, fee inclusions, payment, and cancellation terms are agreed in the proposal. No default retainer percentage is required by this calculator.
