Free creator rate card template for UGC and brand deals

A creator rate card defines the work you offer and the terms behind each price. List production, creator-posted distribution, paid usage and exclusivity separately. Use the free template below as a starting point and replace every placeholder with your own rates; it contains no claimed industry benchmarks.

Copy your creator rate card

This is a reusable business template, not a binding agreement or a market-rate recommendation. Include only services you can provide and rights you are able to grant. A custom deal may need a separate quote.

Choose your own rate inputs

Estimate planning, filming, editing, communication and revisions, then add direct expenses. Consider distribution and licensing separately. If you use an illustrative example, label it and never present it as actual client work or earnings.

Avoid one vague 'video price' that appears to include unlimited versions and perpetual ads. A brand should be able to understand the difference between asset-only UGC and a sponsored post on your channel.

Before sending the rate card

  • Replace all placeholders and specify currency.
  • Check that portfolio links work without permission requests.
  • Define included revisions and delivery timing.
  • Specify duration and placements for any licensed use.
  • State when a custom quote is needed.
  • Keep a dated copy so both parties refer to the same version.

Does the template include recommended market rates?
