How it is calculated

Full SMM cost = specialist cost + tools cost + ad budget. The calculation adds up three expense categories often tracked separately into a single total comparable against an agency or freelancer alternative.

Specialist cost can be an in-house employee's salary including taxes, or a freelancer's or agency's fee — it should also include a prorated share if the person doesn't run SMM full-time but combines it with other tasks.

The total computed here is handy to compare against the payback of an in-house SMM specialist versus an agency — use the separate calculator to see not just the cost but the difference between the two ways of organizing the work.
