Explainer animation budget calculator
Seven quick questions about your explainer, brand or product piece and you get a suggested style, a production tier and a budget estimate per finished minute, built on how we have priced real animation work. Covers 2D, 3D and motion graphics.
Which animation style fits your project?
Answer the questions below and we’ll suggest a style and an estimate. Send it to us if you want a quote.
Planning a long-form eLearning or training program? That work is priced at scale, differently from the one-off pieces this picker covers. Start with our eLearning video production or corporate training video pages instead.
Answer the six questions above and we'll suggest a style, a look and a price band. The looks are optional.
This animation budget calculator works from the same cost model we use when we price a project: a base rate for one finished minute at moderate complexity, adjusted for the production level, how character-based the piece is, its length and whether it is a rush. It covers 2D, 3D and motion graphics, so it doubles as a 3D animation cost calculator and an explainer video cost calculator. It is a planning figure, not a quote. Once we have read your brief we confirm the price.
If you want to see what the tiers look like before you answer, the animation styles guide shows every style with a real client example, and the animation cost guide explains what a per-minute rate actually buys. For long-form training and eLearning programs, which are priced at scale, use the training video cost calculator instead.
