Do you want to know in advance the approximate price of automatic translation in Mergado Translate? We have a price estimation function for you.

## **How price estimation works**

The rule calculates the number of characters in the export elements you want to translate. It multiplies the number of characters by the volume price for translation in the translator you are using.

It then checks for duplicate texts in the feed, translating those only once, and calculates the price without duplicates. This should be your price per translation.

The calculation does not take into account credits that you may have in free translators or as part of the basic package.

## **Creating a price estimate**

1. Go to the _Rules_ page and click the _Create Estimate_ button.
