CDN Cost Savings Calculator

This tool estimates monthly CDN egress costs before and after optimizing your bitrate ladder. Adjust subscribers, viewing hours, profile mix, and choose an optimization scenario to see potential savings.

Scenarios explained:

• Video Codec Update: Modern codecs + per-title tuning yield top-tier savings (4K –30%, 1080p –25%, 720p –20%, 480p –15%)
• Per-Title Encoding: Content-aware bitrate ladders (e.g. Bitmovin, AWS Elemental) → strong savings (4K –20%, 1080p –18%, 720p –15%, 480p –10%)
• Efficient Transcoding: Multi-pass encoding & pre-processing → modest gains (4K –10%, 1080p –8%, 720p –5%, 480p –3%)

Note: Simplified example. Actual savings depend on codec choice, content complexity, ABR ladder design, and tuning parameters.
