Assumptions

  • All creator revenue, price, fee, RPM, CPM, refund, churn, and cost values are user-entered assumptions.
  • No current platform payout rates, ad rates, sponsorship prices, or marketplace fee schedules are hardcoded.

  • Calculations are deterministic and run locally in the browser without uploading private revenue or audience data.

Unit handling

  • Total Revenue accepts values in $.
  • Total Views accepts numeric values.
  • Projected Views accepts numeric values.
