How it works
Methodology & formulas
This calculator is transparent by design. Review the steps and formulas so you can trust the estimate and adjust assumptions when your dashboard differs.
Calculation steps
- 1Calculate advertising revenue from ad views and RPM.
- 2Calculate sponsorship revenue from deals and average deal rate.
- 3Calculate affiliate revenue from clicks, conversion rate, and commission per sale.
- 4Calculate membership and product gross, then their editable platform cuts.
- 5Add custom revenue to gross monthly revenue and annualize the gross result.
- 6Divide by the optional audience denominator only when it is above zero.
Formulas
- Ad revenue = ad views ÷ 1,000 × RPM
- Sponsorship = deals × average deal rate
- Affiliate = clicks × conversion% × commission per sale
- Membership gross = members × membership price
- Product gross = sales × product price
- Estimated after cuts = gross − membership gross×fee% − product gross×fee%
Important assumptions
- Advertising revenue equals views or audience units divided by 1,000 times your editable RPM. Use historic analytics instead of a generic rate when available.
- Sponsorship, affiliate, membership, product, and custom inputs are separate streams. Set unused streams to zero rather than interpreting a blank as a hidden estimate.
- Membership and product platform cuts are editable planning assumptions. No creator fund, bonus, or platform revenue-share program is hardcoded.
- Gross monthly and annualized gross are before production, operating, payment, and tax costs. Estimated monthly after cuts subtracts only the two modeled platform-cut fields.
- Audience-unit averages are directional. Choose a denominator that matches your audience and avoid comparing different units without context.
Sources & review
Know what this estimate is built on
This calculator is intentionally platform-agnostic, so it does not attach a platform fee URL.
Official references
No single official fee page is attached here. The model keeps these inputs editable so you can use the terms that apply to your situation.
Use the current terms
This model uses editable planning assumptions. Confirm tax, payment, financing, or operating terms with the relevant provider, official authority, or adviser for your situation.
Defaults are editable estimates. Match them to your current account, provider statement, official authority, lender, or adviser before making a pricing or investment decision.
Calculator model reviewed: August 9, 2026. This date covers the page and calculator guidance, not a guarantee that every live platform rate or term was re-audited on that date.
Worked example
A mixed creator month
