Video Budget Calculator

Build a strategic, defensible annual video budget in minutes.

The Real Problem

Most SaaS teams don’t actually know how much they should be spending on video.

So budgets get approved based on:

Guesswork
Historical numbers
Whatever the agency quotes
Whatever’s leftover
Or whatever Finance will allow

This leads to:

• Underfunded launches
• Inconsistent video quality
• Poor channel performance
• Reactive, last-minute content creation
• Fragmented GTM execution
• No alignment between PMM, Demand Gen & Finance

A weak budget → inconsistent output → weak pipeline contribution.

The SaaS Video Budget Calculator gives you a clear, strategic, justifiable number — based on your stage, growth, GTM motions and required video output.

what does the tool do

Why trust this tool

We’ve helped SaaS teams across the UK, US and EU plan and execute multi-asset video programs — from early-stage startups to enterprise SaaS.

Our strategic recommendations have shaped budgets for:

Product launches
Year-long GTM calendars
Sales enablement systems
Customer story libraries
Paid campaigns
Corporate & brand films
Multi-market expansions

This calculator uses the same budgeting framework we apply when planning $25k–$300k annual video programs for SaaS brands.

Not theory — real GTM budgeting logic.

Why  it matters

What the Budget Calculator Actually Does

Your inputs generate a strategic annual video budget grounded in SaaS execution — not guesswork.

It takes into account:

1. Company Stage & Growth Rate
Startups, scale-ups or enterprise GTM — each requires different video intensity.

2. Your GTM Motions
New product launches, sales enablement, paid campaigns, onboarding, YouTube strategy, customer stories.

3. Volume & Quality Requirements
Do you need high-end launch assets? Fast-turn feature clips? A customer story program? Or a mix?

4. Channel Strategy
Website, paid social, lifecycle, product education or full funnel.

5. In-house vs Agency Mix
The model adapts based on the team and resources you have today.
