How to use this tool
- Enter the word count, the rate you charge or pay per word, and any minimum fee.
- Press Generate. The tool multiplies words by rate and applies the minimum fee if that total is higher.
- Use Load sample for 1,000 words at 0.10 with a 25 minimum, or Clear to start again.
Worked example
For 1,000 words at 0.10 per word, the raw cost is 1,000 x 0.10 = 100.00, which is above the minimum fee of 25, so the estimated total is 100.00 in your currency.
What this tool does not do / Limits
This is an estimate from rates you enter only: it does not set a market rate, and it ignores proofreading, rush fees, taxes and currency conversion. It is not financial advice — confirm the final price with your translator or client.
Frequently asked questions
When does the minimum fee apply?
When words x rate comes out below the minimum fee, the minimum fee is charged instead. For example, 100 words at 0.10 gives 10, so a minimum fee of 25 applies and the total is 25.
Which currency is used?
Whichever currency your rate is in. The tool never converts currencies; enter the rate in the currency you will actually charge or pay.
