Estimate your voice cost

ElevenLabs cost calculator

Estimate how many TTS credits your monthly voiceover needs and which plan covers it. One credit ≈ one character of TTS audio; roughly 1,000 credits per minute of narration. Pricing notes.

Approximate TTS estimate — dubbing, music, and sound effects burn credits much faster. Verify on the official pricing page before purchasing.
