The methodology
Why you can trust these numbers
Conservative ranges
You see one expected-view number plus a projected range, so the tool reads as a forecast rather than a hype band.
You control the assumptions
Target CPM steps down as budget scales — larger campaigns activate more of the network. Change budget and every output updates live.

FAQ
Campaign cost questions
How much does a clipping campaign cost?
The public calculator is built around a $15,000 starting budget. Campaigns run on a pay-per-verified-view model, and target CPM steps down as spend scales.
How many views will a campaign get?
Expected views = campaign budget ÷ target effective CPM × 1,000. You see that expected number first, then a projected range underneath. Real delivery still depends on creative, source material, and how many creators participate.
How is the effective CPM calculated?
Effective CPM is your total budget divided by projected verified views, times 1,000. It is the all-in cost of the reach you modeled — so you can compare budgets on equal footing.
Is clipping cheaper than paid ads?
Usually, but the comparison is not perfectly like-for-like: paid CPMs price impressions while clipping prices verified views. Set the paid-ads benchmark to your own media buying rate and the calculator will show the multiple against your real numbers.
Are these numbers guaranteed?
No. Everything here is a planning estimate built from assumptions you set. Actual campaign performance varies with creative, offer strength, and distribution consistency.
