Our methods of pricing are described below. You can find more information on our services and rates in the Services tab.
All rates are subject to VAT 24% which will be added to the final rate.
Translation Services
The cost of a translation depends on several things, such as delivery time, language, subject matter, the level of difficulty, and whether our client wants a rough translation, or a perfectly polished translation. Each assignment is different, which is why we provide tailor made translation projects at the request of the client. The rates below are the translation rates for translations from a foreign language into Finnish. The cost of translating into a foreign language will often be slightly higher.
Below are our methods of pricing:
-
Per page. This is the most common way of pricing. Our rate is 50–65 € / page. One translator’s page is 1,560 characters including spaces. The number of characters is counted from the source text. The price of authorized translations is 85 € / page, regardless of the number of characters. The postage costs of the translated document will be added to the price.
-
Per word. If a client doesn’t know the word count of the project in advance, or if a translation memory is used in the project, pricing per word can be a useful way of pricing. Our price per word starts at 0.10 € / word.
- Per hour. We can also work at an hourly rate. This is a good option if the translation is less than a page long. Our price per hour starts at 35 € / hour.
The rates are subject to VAT 24%.
Before the cost of the translation is agreed on, our translators would like to see the original text or a snippet of it. This way our translators can choose the best method of pricing and give you the best estimate of the cost of the project.

Proofreading and Copyediting
Our proofreading, editing, and copyediting projects are most often priced per hour. The hourly rate depends on the level of editing that the client wants. The cost of each project is agreed on separately.
Simple proofreading: We will correct typos and grammatical errors.
Editing: We will review the language and expressions of the text so that the text conveys its message better. Proofreading is always included in our editing services.
Copyediting: We edit the text on a larger scale so that the text serves its purpose better. This may mean significant changes to the structure and expressions of the text.

Content Production
The cost of content production and writing projects is always agreed on separately, because content production can mean very different things for different projects.
Simple text production can often be priced by word, but when the project involves creative and complex content production, hourly rates are preferable.
