Methodology & Assumptions
How the Numbers Work
The calculator anchors to a $10–$80 CPM benchmark range. Each niche occupies a sub-band within that range, reflecting audience purchase intent and advertiser competition. Channel tier and engagement rate then scale the package. BrandConnect / partnership ads add a managed-placement uplift applied equally to both models so the engagement delta stays isolated.
This tool produces planning estimates using configurable benchmark multipliers, not quoted rates. Actual sponsorship pricing varies by creator, deal structure, exclusivity windows, usage rights, and negotiation. Always validate against live creator media kits and current platform rates before committing budget.
