Enter one monthly media number and see the management fee, total outlay and effective percentage before GST.
The fee is the higher of the applicable percentage of monthly media spend or ₹50,000, plus GST. The rate is 15% below ₹10,00,000, 10% from ₹10,00,000 and 8% from ₹20,00,000. Each rate applies to the whole monthly media budget, not only the portion above a threshold.
This calculator keeps media and management on separate lines. That matters because the media amount goes to the advertising platforms while the fee covers planning, account work, creative testing, measurement and weekly decisions. Enter the amount you expect to place with the platforms and the result updates immediately.
All money results are shown + GST.

Monthly media spend is the budget available for impressions, clicks and conversions inside Google, Meta, LinkedIn or another agreed platform. The management fee is DigiStreet’s charge for running the work. Total outlay adds those two figures before GST. The effective percentage shows how the fee compares with the media budget at that level.
A ₹1,00,000 media budget returns the ₹50,000 minimum rather than ₹15,000. A ₹3,00,000 media budget also returns ₹50,000 because 15% is ₹45,000. Once 15% is greater than ₹50,000, the percentage becomes the fee. The calculator states when the minimum is active so the result is easy to check.
At ₹10,00,000, the applicable rate changes to 10% and the fee is ₹1,00,000. At ₹20,00,000, the rate changes to 8% and the fee is ₹1,60,000. The lower rate applies to the complete budget once the threshold is reached. This is why a threshold can change the effective percentage without changing the definition of media spend.
A paid campaign needs a clear offer, an audience, a landing path and a measurement plan before money reaches the platform. The account then needs search terms, exclusions, bids, budgets, creative rotations and lead-quality feedback. Those decisions sit inside the management scope agreed for the month.
Creative volume changes the workload. A search campaign can begin with tightly grouped ads and landing pages, while catalogue or short-video campaigns may need more assets and a faster testing rhythm. Production and creator costs are scoped separately when the campaign needs new films, photography, UGC or design beyond the agreed account work.
The monthly fee does not replace the media budget. Keeping both figures visible lets a finance team approve the full amount and lets the marketing team judge whether the test has enough room to learn. A small campaign can still be useful when the audience and conversion path are narrow, but the budget should match the decision being tested.
Below ₹10,00,000, the calculation uses 15% with a ₹50,000 minimum. From ₹10,00,000 to ₹19,99,999, it uses 10%. From ₹20,00,000, it uses 8%. These are monthly media bands. If spend changes in a later month, that month is calculated from its own planned media amount.
The minimum fee remains active up to ₹3,33,333 because 15% of that amount is approximately ₹50,000. The calculator identifies that position in plain words. It does not hide the minimum inside the total or turn the fee into media. The split stays visible in every result.
A media floor of ₹50,000 to ₹1,00,000 a month can be sensible for a focused first test. The right figure still depends on the market, expected cost per lead, sales capacity and how many variations need a fair run. Use the ad budget calculator when the starting point is a lead target rather than a media number.
The first working session should name the conversion that matters. An enquiry form, qualified call, store purchase and distributor lead need different tracking and follow-up. When the conversion is vague, the account can collect cheap activity that never reaches a sales conversation.
Landing-page readiness is checked alongside the account. The page needs a clear offer, a credible reason to act, fast loading, useful proof and a working form or checkout. Campaign structure cannot correct a page that hides the next step or sends every audience to the same generic message.
Lead quality should return to the account every week. The useful signal is not only cost per lead. It is which terms, audiences and creatives produce conversations that the sales team can progress. That feedback helps move spend towards work that earns a second month.
One useful comparison is a smaller focused test against a larger multi-audience plan. Enter each media amount and note the fee, total outlay and effective percentage. Then write down what the extra media buys: another city, more creative variants, a second platform or a longer learning window.
Another comparison is the cost of media against the value of one qualified sale. If the average order, margin and close rate are known, the break-even calculator can show the maximum affordable cost per lead. That figure gives the media plan a commercial boundary instead of a vanity target.
The result can also support procurement. The fee rule is visible, the bands are stated and every result is before GST. A proposal can then add production, creator, landing-page or tracking work only where the brief requires it rather than hiding those items inside a single unexplained number.
Save the media amount, fee band and total beside the campaign brief. If the planned spend changes, run the calculation again for that month because the applicable percentage follows the full monthly media figure.
A useful approval note names the platform budget, management fee, production items and GST treatment separately. That gives finance a clean total and gives the campaign team a clear boundary for every part of the work.
A monthly media approval is a ceiling, while cleared platform spend is the amount actually delivered. Billing and reporting should name both when they differ. A campaign can finish below the approved amount because an audience is too small, tracking pauses delivery or a product becomes unavailable. The fee calculation for a proposal uses the planned monthly media figure; the commercial agreement should state how a material change is handled before invoices are raised.
Keep platform credits and taxes outside the media figure unless the agreement defines them differently. The calculator expects the amount used to buy advertising inventory. When several platforms share the month, add their planned media amounts first and apply the rate to that combined budget. This avoids calculating separate minimum fees for channels that belong to one agreed management scope and gives the team one number to reconcile against the media plan.
The minimum is ₹50,000 plus GST a month. It applies whenever the percentage calculation is lower than ₹50,000.
No. Media spend and the DigiStreet management fee are separate, and the calculator shows both before GST.
The rate is 10% from ₹10,00,000 of monthly media spend. It applies to the whole monthly budget.
The rate is 8% from ₹20,00,000 of monthly media spend. It applies to the whole monthly budget.
No. New films, photography, creators and production are scoped separately when the campaign needs them.
No. Every result is shown before tax and labelled plus GST.
