Fixed-budget formula
usable clips = floor(budget ÷ (clip seconds × rate × retry multiplier))The reverse calculator counts only complete clips that fit under the budget. The remainder stays visible instead of being rounded into a clip that cannot be generated.
Batch video formula
monthly cost = clip seconds × videos per month × rate × (1 + retry allowance)“Per clip” shows one successful output at the selected rate. The monthly estimate adds the retry allowance to the whole planned batch.
24/7 AI TV formula
monthly cost = hours per day × 3,600 × fresh content % × days × rate × (1 + retries)Fresh content is the share of airtime that must be newly generated. Repeated library footage does not create another model-generation charge in this estimate.
Long-video continuation formula
total = generated segments × clip seconds × rate × retry multiplier + continuation reference costsSegment count is based on the finished runtime after overlap. The planner exposes overlap and unused final-tail seconds because both are generated and billed even when they are removed in the edit.
