Not sure what to charge for a speaking engagement? This calculator helps globalization and tech professionals estimate a fair range based on experience level, event characteristics, and market factors.
Estimated Fee Range
Plus travel expenses covered by the organizer. These are rough market estimates for the globalization and tech industry.
This estimator uses ranges based on conversations with dozens of speakers in the globalization and technology industry, combined with data from speaker bureaus and industry benchmarks. It's a starting point for negotiation, not a definitive answer.
Key things the calculator doesn't capture: your specific brand value, whether the event generates leads for your business, whether the organizer has budget constraints, and whether the exposure itself has strategic value. Speaking for free at the right event can be worth more than a paid gig at the wrong one.
Built from the experience of delivering 55+ conference talks across four continents — navigating the full spectrum from "we can't pay speakers but here's a conference pass" to properly compensated keynote engagements.
We're building practical resources for globalization practitioners.
