Input checklist

- Monthly flat management fee ($): verify that this value uses the unit, period, and definition shown by the calculator.
- One-time setup and tracking cost ($): verify that this value uses the unit, period, and definition shown by the calculator.
- Contract months: verify that this value uses the unit, period, and definition shown by the calculator.

The calculation currently described on this page is: Monthly percent-of-spend, flat and creative fees are multiplied by contract months and setup is added to media spend. Change one important input at a time when comparing scenarios so you can see which assumption actually drives the difference.
Checks before relying on the result
The result depends on the values and units entered. Recheck the inputs and compare the estimate with the real-world source or rule that applies to your situation.
