What is the WedWill ROI Calculator?

The WedWill ROI Calculator is a free tool built for wedding videographers to see exactly how much time and money you could save by outsourcing your editing. Enter your annual editing volume and hourly rate, and the calculator compares two options side by side — pay-per-project (fixed-price) vs. monthly subscription — so you can pick whichever saves you more.

How accurate is the ROI Calculator?



The calculator uses conservative industry averages gathered from hundreds of wedding videographers we've worked with. Actual savings may vary based on your editing style, project complexity, and footage quality. For complex weddings with multiple cameras or cultural ceremonies, the time savings may be even greater than estimated.

We recommend adjusting the hourly rate field to reflect what your time is truly worth — not just your editing rate, but what you'd earn filming another wedding or growing your business. Most videographers undervalue their time.

How does the calculator determine which option to recommend?

The calculator compares two paths:

Option A — Pay Per Project (Fixed-Price): Adds up the cost of each edit at our fixed prices: $100 for ceremony and speech edits, $400 for highlight and full film edits.

Option B — Monthly Subscription: Recommends a plan based on the types of edits you need. Ceremony and speech edits only → Culling Pro ($549/mo). Highlight films or full films → Creative Pro ($999/mo). Cinematic highlights or social media teasers → Cinematic Pro ($1,499/mo).

Whichever option costs less for your annual volume gets the "Best Value" tag. If you need cinematic highlights or social media teasers, the calculator notes that these are only available through subscription plans.The calculator analyzes the types of edits you need (ceremony edits, highlights, cinematic films, etc.) and recommends the most appropriate plan. For basic editing needs, it suggests the Culling Pro plan. If you need highlight films or full-length edits, it recommends Creative Pro. For cinematic highlights and social media content, it suggests our Cinematic Pro plan.

What's the difference between fixed-price projects and subscriptions?

Fixed-price is pay-per-project with no commitment. You pay $100–$400 per edit, get 3 revisions, and receive your Premiere Pro project file. It's ideal for videographers with occasional or seasonal editing needs.

Subscriptions are monthly plans ($549–$1,499/mo) with unlimited requests processed one at a time, unlimited revisions, a dedicated editor, and faster turnaround. You can pause during your off-season. It's best for videographers with consistent, high-volume editing needs.

How many edits can WedWill complete per month with one subscription?

Based on our Creative Pro plan capacity, one subscription can complete approximately 3 highlight films (4–6 min each) per month, OR 10 ceremony/speech edits per month. Complex edits like cinematic highlights and full-length films take similar capacity to highlight films. Simple edits like ceremony, speech, and social media teasers process much faster.

The calculator uses these throughput numbers to estimate how many active subscription months you'll need.

Can outsourcing editing really increase my profits?

Based on industry data and our experience with 800+ projects, wedding videographers typically spend:
• 4 hours per ceremony edit
• 3 hours per speech edit
• 15 hours per highlight film
• 20 hours per cinematic highlight
• 18 hours per full-length film
• 2 hours per social media teaser

A complete wedding package with multiple deliverables can take 30–40+ hours of editing time.

Can outsourcing editing really increase my profits?

Absolutely. By outsourcing editing to WedWill, you can redirect your time to filming more weddings or growing your business. Our clients report being able to take on significantly more bookings while maintaining the same total working hours. The calculator shows you exactly how many additional weddings you could film and the potential revenue that represents.

What types of wedding video edits does WedWill handle?

WedWill handles all types of wedding video edits: ceremony edits, speech edits, highlight films (both chronological and cinematic), full-length films, and social media teasers. All services include color grading, sound mixing, a royalty-free Musicbed track, and your Adobe Premiere Pro project file at no extra cost.

Can I try WedWill before committing to a monthly plan?

Yes, WedWill offers a 14-day risk-free trial for $199 that includes a 4-6 minute highlight video, color grading, sound mixing, a Premiere Pro file, unlimited revisions, and a 7-day money-back guarantee if you're not satisfied with the results.

What is "peak season" in wedding videography?

Peak season refers to the busiest months of the year for wedding bookings and filming. In most regions, this typically includes late spring through early fall (May to October), with the highest concentration of weddings occurring during summer months. During peak season, wedding videographers often find themselves filming multiple weddings per week, creating a significant editing backlog.

If I choose peak season mode, does that mean I need multiple subscriptions?

Not necessarily. The calculator determines whether your editing volume can be completed within 6 months using one subscription or if you'd need more. With one subscription, WedWill processes requests one at a time. If your volume exceeds what one subscription can handle in 6 months, the calculator will recommend additional subscriptions for concurrent processing.

For moderate volume (e.g., 5–10 highlight films per year), one subscription is usually sufficient. Higher volumes may benefit from multiple subscriptions during peak months.

Do I have to choose between fixed-price and subscription?

No — the calculator shows both options so you can compare. Some videographers use fixed-price projects during slower months and subscribe during peak season. Others find that one approach consistently saves more based on their annual volume. The calculator helps you see the numbers clearly so you can decide what works best for your business.

What types of wedding video edits does WedWill handle?

WedWill handles all types of wedding video edits: ceremony edits, speech edits, highlight films (both chronological and cinematic), full-length films, and social media teasers.
