Direct answer
What determines interpreter cost in Singapore?
Interpretation mode sets the starting rate. Active language channels set the team size. Hours and days set the billable period. Equipment, venue, travel, specialist preparation and availability are quoted separately. This calculator makes those boundaries visible instead of presenting one misleading event price.
