Describe your local Blender render
Use a representative frame you have already rendered. We will use this local baseline to calculate the full render and compare it with every Renderjuice plan below.
Search any substring, such as “4070” or “Ada”.
Usually 1. Increase this only if multiple GPUs rendered the frame.

1 × RTX 4090 · 1 minute 30 seconds per frame · 250 frames
Frequently asked questions
How does the calculator estimate render time and credits?
Worked example: 1 × RTX 4090, 90 seconds per frame, and 250 frames.

1
Calculate the local render time
We multiply your average frame time by the number of frames. Choose a frame that represents the rest of the animation.
90 seconds × 250 frames = 6 hours 15 minutes locally

Convert the render to GPU minutes
We use Blender benchmark scores to express your local render as RTX 3090-equivalent GPU minutes. One Renderjuice credit covers one minute of that normalized work.
Learn how GPU-minute credits work →375 local minutes × 1 GPU × 2.02 benchmark ratio = 756.1 GPU minutes → 757 credits
Credits are rounded up to the next whole GPU minute.

Estimate the Renderjuice time
We divide the normalized workload by each plan's average rendering power. Plans with more power finish sooner, while the credit estimate stays the same.
- Hobbyist
- 756.1 ÷ 22 ≈ 34 minutes 22 seconds
- Pro
- 756.1 ÷ 22 ≈ 34 minutes 22 seconds
- Studio
- 756.1 ÷ 30 ≈ 25 minutes 12 seconds
What is a Renderjuice GPU minute?
A GPU minute is one minute of RTX 3090-equivalent rendering. Faster cloud GPUs are normalized to that baseline, so credit usage reflects completed render work instead of the exact GPU model assigned to a worker.
Learn more about GPU-minute credits →Why is the credit estimate the same for every plan?
The scene requires the same amount of normalized GPU work on every plan. A plan with a higher average speed per render can finish sooner, while the total RTX 3090-equivalent GPU minutes remain approximately the same.
What does plan credit value mean?
Plan credit value is the estimated render credits multiplied by the effective value of one included credit, calculated from the monthly plan price and its included GPU minutes. It represents a prorated share of the subscription, not an additional charge. Top-up credit value uses the plan’s additional GPU-hour rate instead.
How accurate is the Renderjuice time estimate?
We base the estimate on Blender benchmark ratios and each plan’s published average speed per render. GPU availability and render errors can change the actual duration. The estimate does not include file upload or download time.
