How this UGC rate calculator works
The calculator multiplies a base per-video rate by four factors that move 2026 UGC pricing:
- 1. Experience. Beginner ($75–$200), intermediate ($200–$400), or experienced ($400–$1,000+).
- 2. Niche. Fintech (+60%), SaaS (+50%), and apps (+30%) pay premiums. Food & beverage (-5%) typically pays slightly less.
- 3. Usage rights. Organic only = base. Paid ads 90 days = +75%. Paid ads perpetual = +150%.
- 4. Turnaround. Standard 5–10 days = base. Under 72h = +25%. Under 24h = +50%.
Add-ons (hooks pack, raw footage, whitelisting) are added as flat fees because brands typically itemize them separately on the invoice.
