The examples below compare the starting estimate from our pricing calculator with the final amount paid by the client. Each example reflects a common project type and shows how the estimate aligned with the actual cost. Click Cost Difference Details to view a description explaining the factors behind any price difference. Las Vegas events are calculated differently because travel and hotel costs do not apply.

The Final Cost was the price listed in our contract, prior to filming - and was the final cost after filming.
