How this Runway Gen-4.5 calculator works

The calculator separates generation cost from creator labor and client pricing. Increase attempts per scene to reflect retries, then add image/audio tools, revision reserve and your target margin.

Reference rates are snapshots from the current model catalog, not a promise of what every consumer plan or third-party provider charges.
