Calculating creative pay for short-term projects

Updated over 4 months ago

If you only require a Creative for a short period of time, you can determine their pay using the following formula: (Creative Rate / 30.4) x (Number of days)
​
This calculation provides the daily rate, which can then be multiplied by the number of days needed. The factor of 30.4 represents the average number of days in a calendar month. For example, if you require an Emerging Creative for 2 days, the calculation would be as follows: (500 / 30.4) x 2 = $32.79. In this case, the payment for a Creative working 2 days would be $33.
​
When compensating Creatives, always round up to the nearest dollar.
