FAQ

Questions and disclaimer

How accurate is this estimate?
Every number is based on the inputs you provide. The calculator does not pull in market prices. Actual costs vary by deck type, urgency, complexity, designer or consultant scope, and how many revision rounds a deck needs.
Will this match what an agency charges?
Not necessarily. Actual costs vary widely by scope, seniority, timeline and revision volume. Use the output as a directional baseline you build from your own numbers, not a quote.
Do you guarantee any outcome?
No. This is an estimating tool. It does not guarantee fundraising outcomes, investor interest, sales conversion, board approval, or any specific savings.
Where do the default numbers come from?
The defaults are example starting values, clearly labeled, meant to be replaced. Enter your own pricing in each field for a closer estimate. We do not present the defaults as market benchmarks.
Do I have to sign up to use the calculator?
No. The calculator works in your browser with no sign-up. You only share your details if you ask us to send your breakdown or to map a workflow.
What does the recommended workflow mean?
Based on your urgency, your biggest bottleneck and your largest cost category, the tool suggests which type of AI-assisted deck workflow may help reduce manual work, for example an investor deck draft, a deck review checklist, deck polish, or a board deck workflow. It is a starting point, not a promise of an outcome.
The fine print
PitchDeckCost.com is an independent estimating tool and educational resource. It is not affiliated with any investor, accelerator, agency, or design studio. Estimates are based solely on the inputs you provide. This site does not guarantee fundraising outcomes, investor interest, sales conversion, board approval, or any specific savings.
