Whether you're trying to calculate influencer income, grow on TikTok fast, or monetize your Instagram account effectively, this tool uses real data to give you a clear picture of your earning potential.
How the Growth Calculator Works
This social media growth calculator for TikTok and Instagram analyzes several factors that impact reach and revenue:
- Average Engagement Rate by category
- Recommended posting frequency
- CPM (Cost per 1,000 impressions)
- Category-specific growth speed
- Boostbuddy growth multiplier (based on real-world benchmarks)
Growth Projection Formula
yearly_growth = (weekly_posts × growth_factor × 52 weeks) × engagement_rate
Where:
- weekly_posts = average number of posts per week (category-dependent)
- growth_factor = a multiplier based on content quality, niche virality, and Boostbuddy effect
- engagement_rate = typical engagement for your category (likes, comments, shares)
Revenue Estimation Formula
To help you calculate potential earnings on TikTok and Instagram, we factor in engagement rate, views, and niche-specific CPM rates:
revenue = (estimated_views_per_year / 1000) × avg_CPM
Or for influencers focused on brand deals and affiliate sales:
revenue = avg_brand_deals × avg_deal_value + (affiliate_clicks × conversion_rate × avg_commission)
According to Influencer Marketing Hub (2023):
- CPM ranges from $20–$150 depending on niche
- Top lifestyle influencers on Instagram earn $5,000–$25,000/month
- TikTok creators make $0.02–$0.04 per view from brand partnerships

Sample Calculations
Let’s say you’re trying to grow on TikTok fast as a Fitness & Health creator posting 5 videos per week:
views = 5 posts × 52 weeks × 10,000 avg views = 2,600,000 revenue = (2,600,000 / 1,000) × 60 = $156,000/year
With Boostbuddy:
views = 2,600,000 × 1.7 = 4,420,000 revenue = (4,420,000 / 1,000) × 60 = $265,200/year
