Podcast studio pricing questions
What should I include in my podcast studio hourly rate?+
Start with the time the client can actually book, then test whether the rate covers fixed costs, operating costs, reset time, and the owner pay you need. Use the calculator to make those assumptions visible instead of treating a competitor price as a benchmark.
Should add-ons be part of the base studio price?+
Keep the base rate understandable and model common extras separately when they represent optional equipment, an operator, setup, or post-production help. The template shows how add-on revenue changes the booking economics without hiding it inside the hourly rate.
Does this calculator tell me what to charge?+
No. It is a planning model based on your own costs, capacity, booking duration, and utilization target. Validate the result against your local demand, positioning, taxes, and customer feedback before changing prices.
