Video Editing Cost Calculator — Our Real PKR Rates
Price a month of video editing using the rates we actually charge, not a range someone made up. Put in how many Shorts, long-form videos and thumbnails you need, and it totals the per-video cost and tells you whether a monthly package would be cheaper than paying piece by piece.
Work it out
How this is calculated
editingSubtotalPkr = (shortEdits × 1,500) + (longSimple × 3,500) + (longFull × 6,000) + (podcastEdits × 8,000). thumbnailSubtotalPkr = thumbnails × 800. baseTotal = editingSubtotalPkr + thumbnailSubtotalPkr. rushSurchargePkr = baseTotal × rushPercent ÷ 100. totalPkr = baseTotal + rushSurchargePkr. Let longCount = longSimple + longFull + podcastEdits. bestPackage, checked in this order: if longCount is 0 and shortEdits is 8 or fewer, "Starter — PKR 15,000" with packagePrice 15,000; else if longCount is 4 or fewer and shortEdits is 12 or fewer, "Growth — PKR 35,000" with packagePrice 35,000; else "Pro — PKR 70,000+" with packagePrice 70,000. savingPkr = totalPkr − packagePrice. Round every PKR figure to the nearest 100.
Things to keep in mind
- These are our own rates as of August 2026, for footage that arrives usable. If we have to sift four hours of raw phone video to find the good ten minutes, we say so before starting rather than quietly billing more.
- The package comparison is a volume match, not a like-for-like swap. Starter and Growth also include daily posting, SEO and reporting, which the per-video price does not — so a package can be cheaper and still cover more.
- Pro is quoted as PKR 70,000+ because near-unlimited editing under fair use has no fixed item count. The calculator uses 70,000 as the floor for comparison.
- Anything longer than 20 minutes, or with a hard deadline tied to an event, gets quoted properly on WhatsApp instead of estimated here.
About this calculator
How much does it cost to edit a YouTube video in Pakistan?
We charge PKR 3,500 for a simple cut up to ten minutes and PKR 6,000 for a full edit with b-roll and motion graphics. Freelancers on local groups quote anywhere from PKR 1,000 to PKR 10,000 for the same brief, and the gap is almost always revisions, deadlines and whether captions are included.
Is a monthly package actually cheaper than paying per video?
It depends on volume, and this calculator will tell you honestly when it is not. Eight Shorts and eight thumbnails comes to PKR 18,400 per item versus PKR 15,000 on Starter, so the package wins. Two Shorts a month does not justify a package and we will say so.
Do the prices include captions and revisions?
Yes to both. Captions in English or Urdu come as standard because a large share of viewers in Pakistan watch with the sound off, and every video includes two rounds of changes. Past two rounds we charge for the time, which almost never happens once the first month settles.
What do you need from me to start editing?
Raw footage on WhatsApp or a shared Drive folder, and a sentence about what the video is for. That is it. We handle the cutting, captions, thumbnail, title and upload, and we send it back for approval before anything goes live.
