Why this isn't trivial
The part people underestimate: dubbing stacks transcription, translation and speech synthesis, so a single video pays across three per-unit costs. In practice the biggest savings come from reusing transcripts and batching languages, so it is worth modelling before you commit.
How it's calculated
We estimate this by adding transcription, translation and TTS cost across the video's length and target languages. Every figure uses the current provider prices baked into the site (reviewed daily), and you can override any input to match your own assumptions.
Frequently asked questions

Yes. The model prices behind this calculator are refreshed and reviewed daily, so your estimate reflects current provider rates rather than a stale snapshot.
