Frequently Asked Questions
Why do some platforms have fewer format pages?
The generator skips format pages when the data file lacks a useful metric for that media type. That avoids invented precision and keeps the pages honest.
What does the average scenario mean?
The average scenario uses the midpoint-style annual revenue metric from the data file for the selected platform and asset type. It should be treated as a realistic baseline, not a guaranteed return.
Which asset count should I enter?
Enter only accepted, searchable assets that are live for buyers. Drafts, rejected files, and unkeyworded uploads should not be counted.
How often should I revisit the estimate?
Recheck after major royalty changes, marketplace policy changes, or every few months of new uploads so the planning range stays realistic.
Does this calculator work without JavaScript?
Yes. The default average estimate is rendered into the HTML during the PHP build. JavaScript only updates the numbers live when you change an input.
Are these numbers revenue or profit?
The calculator estimates contributor revenue before production costs, taxes, gear, software, models, props, travel, and editing time.
