How creator rates are estimated
This calculator uses an industry-style model: a per-1,000-follower base rate that varies by platform, multiplied by an engagement factor (engaged audiences are worth more) and a niche factor (commercial niches command premiums). The output is a realistic anchor for negotiation, not a fixed quote.
