Exactly how your ad is priced — before you pay a rupee

The single most common question we get is ‘how was this number calculated?’ So here it is, in full. The price you see is the price you pay.

How it’s measured

Charged per square centimetre

  • Display ads are priced by area: width × height in sq.cm, at the published per-sq.cm rate for that edition.
  • A photo, logo or colour does not change the per-sq.cm rate — only the size you choose does.
  • You set the exact dimensions in the composer and the area × rate is shown live as you resize.

Booking two dates means two insertions, so the rate applies twice — the calculator shows this clearly before payment, never as a surprise.
