Enter the cost per minute of animation ($/min) and the total time of animation (min) into the Animation Cost Calculator. The calculator will evaluate the Animation Cost. 

Animation Cost Formula

The following two example problems outline the steps and information needed to calculate the Animation Cost.

AC = CM * AT

Variables:

  • AC is the Animation Cost ($)
  • Cm is the cost per minute of animation ($/min) 
  • AT is the total time of animation (min) 

How to Calculate Animation Cost?

The following steps outline how to calculate the Animation Cost.


  1. First, determine the cost per minute of animation ($/min). 
  2. Next, determine the total time of animation (min). 
  3. Next, gather the formula from above = AC = CM * AT.
  4. Finally, calculate the Animation Cost.
  5. After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.

Example Problem : 

Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.

cost per minute of animation ($/min) = 100

total time of animation (min) = 20

AC = CM * AT = ?
