Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Social Media Fee Estimator calculate?
It returns a suggested monthly management fee range with a planning midpoint, alongside a breakdown of the content workload and the ad-management effort behind that number. Treat it as a starting point for pricing a social package.
Who should use this pricing tool?
It's built for freelancers, consultants, agencies, and startup marketers who sell social media management and want a credible figure before drafting a proposal, and it's free to run as often as you like.
What inputs drive the estimated fee?
The range reacts to the number of platforms, how many posts you publish each week, the volume of short videos or reels per month, the ad budget you manage, and whether reporting is basic, standard, or advanced. Heavier output and deeper reporting lift the figure.
How firm is the suggested monthly fee?
It mirrors common market patterns rather than your exact costs, so read it as a guide. Your final price should reflect your local rates, client complexity, and the hours you pour into strategy, engagement, and revisions.
Should the ad spend I enter be added to my fee?
No. The ad budget is money you manage on the client's behalf, not part of your fee. The tool uses it to size a separate ad-management estimate that you can bill as a percentage or a flat add-on.
