Budget a month of YouTube narration
Turn your upload schedule, script length and retakes into an estimated monthly voice budget.
Start with the script, not the runtime
A video length is only a rough proxy for generated speech. Count the words you actually narrate, then multiply by your monthly upload count. Intros, outros and recurring sponsor reads belong in that total if you generate them each time.
Make retakes visible
Regenerating a paragraph consumes additional credits. The calculator applies your retake allowance to the entire workload. This is a planning estimate, not a prediction of a particular voice model's quality or your editing habits.
Separate production cost from subscription cost
A subscription is paid even when you leave credits unused. Our cost per finished minute divides the full monthly subscription price by estimated delivered audio minutes, so it can be much higher than a vendor's usage-based headline rate.
Use the tool as a shortlist
The suggested plan is the lowest-price supported plan whose included credits cover your estimated workload without overages. It is not a comparison of voice quality, an endorsement, or proof that a higher plan is cheaper than buying extra credits. Confirm the current terms before subscribing.
