Estimate Veo-style AI video generation costs from clip count, duration, retries, quality multiplier, and monthly tool fees.
Formula
const monthlyFinishedClips = inputs.clipsPerWeek * 4.345; const monthlyGeneratedSeconds = monthlyFinishedClips * inputs.secondsPerClip * inputs.attemptsPerFinishedClip; const monthlyVariableCost = monthlyGeneratedSeconds * inputs.baseCostPerSecond * inputs.qualityMultiplier; const totalMonthlyCost = monthlyVariableCost + inputs.monthlyPlatformFee; const costPerFinishedClip = totalMonthlyCost / Math.max(1, monthlyFinishedClips); const annualCost = totalMonthlyCost * 12; return { monthlyGeneratedSeconds, monthlyVariableCost, totalMonthlyCost, costPerFinishedClip, annualCost };Finished Clips / Week
