The engagement multiplier is engagement divided by 4, clamped between 0.7 and 1.5, so very low or very high engagement cannot move the rate without limit.
Bars are scaled to the larger of the CPM-based value and production cost, showing which half of the rate dominates.

Each row reuses your CPM, engagement, hours, and hourly cost and varies only expected views. Production cost is fixed, so the rate does not scale in direct proportion to views.
Sponsor rate = views ÷ 1,000 × CPM × clamp(engagement ÷ 4, 0.7, 1.5) + production hours × hourly cost. The 85%–120% range shown is the estimate times 0.85 and 1.20.
Views 80,000, CPM $120, engagement 4.5%, production 16 hours at $200. Multiplier = 4.5 ÷ 4 = 1.125, inside the 0.7–1.5 clamp. CPM-based value = 80,000 ÷ 1,000 × $120 × 1.125 = $10,800. Production cost = 16 × $200 = $3,200. Total = $14,000. Illustrative range: $14,000 × 85% = $11,900 to $14,000 × 120% = $16,800.
The engagement multiplier and the 85%–120% range are custom scenario rules from the source page, not a market valuation. Rights, exclusivity, usage period, revisions, whitelisting, and reuse are excluded, and any of them can move a real rate more than the formula does. Expected views are an assumption, not a guarantee, and CPM is entered by you — a CPM borrowed from another niche or platform may not apply. Past performance, audience fit, and deliverables still decide what a sponsor will actually pay.
Views divided by 1,000 times CPM times an engagement multiplier (engagement divided by 4, clamped between 0.7 and 1.5), plus production hours times hourly cost.
Because two creators with the same view count do not deliver the same attention. The 4% reference point means engagement above 4% lifts the rate and below 4% reduces it, within the clamp.
An illustrative negotiation band around the estimate, from the source page's own scenario rules. It is not a market range and does not come from sponsor data.
This page bundles it into one rate so the total reflects both audience value and labour. If a sponsor prefers a split quote, the breakdown table gives you both halves to present separately.
The multiplier still caps at 1.5, so engagement above 6% (6 divided by 4) adds nothing further in this model. Exceptional engagement should be argued with evidence, not by stretching the multiplier.
Usage rights, exclusivity, revision rounds, paid amplification, and contract length. Price those explicitly on top of this estimate rather than letting the formula silently absorb them.
