About this estimateThe range shown is an estimate based only on the initial inputs you provided. It is not a final quote, bid or guarantee of cost. Actual costs depend on the final media usage, the talent you hire, scheduling, applicable SAG-AFTRA union rules, and paymaster or payroll fees, and the final amount may be higher or lower than this range. SAG-AFTRA talent costs involve a lot of nuance, and every estimate must be reviewed by Coordinet's team of professionals before it is final. For a formal quote, contact Coordinet through our contact form.

Not included: wardrobe, travel, per diem, meal penalties, weekend or night premiums, voiceover overtime, studio teachers, foreign use and payroll taxes, unless you include them in the paymaster fields.
