Formula

How we calculate

Formula reference
Suggested rate = (Effective audience / 1,000) * Modeled sponsorship CPM

Effective audience is modeled from subscriber count and open rate. CPM and price are adjusted by placement type, niche quality, engagement quality, and optional click-rate signal.

This is a pricing benchmark model for planning and negotiation, not a guaranteed market clearing price.

Open rate and engagement assumptions should reflect a stable period, not one outlier send.

Drivers

What moves this result

Primary and dedicated placements usually command higher pricing than secondary mentions.
Audience quality and niche commercial intent move sponsorship CPM significantly.
Frequency and package structure can change effective monthly sponsor value even at the same per-send rate.

FAQ

Quick answers

Is this the same as an ad RPM calculator?

No. Sponsorship pricing and ad RPM use different monetization models. This page estimates brand-deal pricing, not ad network payout.

Can I use this for package pricing?

Yes. The output includes monthly package ranges based on your selected sponsorship frequency.
