Calculator guide
Understanding Influencer Campaign Performance Calculator
Influencer reach must be de-duplicated before views, visits, orders, refunds, commissions, and product costs are evaluated. This calculator makes that sequence explicit.
Detailed calculation process
Detailed influencer-campaign calculation process
The model first estimates a unique addressable audience and then reconciles retained order revenue with three distinct cost layers.
General formula: A = NF(1-o/100)V = A(r_v/100)S = V(r_s/100)O_g = S(r_o/100)O = O_g(1-r_f/100)R = OpP = R - Oc - R(r_k/100) - K Follower overlap is removed before response rates. Retained revenue then pays order cost, percentage commission, and fixed creator fees.
What each symbol means
Worked substitution with the default inputs
Contribution plus product cost, creator commission, and fixed fees must equal retained revenue.
Worked situations
Practical examples
- A multi-creator launch can test how 35% overlap changes unique reach and cost per retained order.
- An affiliate-style creator program can set fixed fees low and use the contracted revenue commission separately.
Better inputs
Useful tips
- Do not add creator follower counts without an overlap adjustment.
- Use retained orders after refunds for revenue and product cost.
- Keep usage-rights or whitelisting fees inside creator fees when they are campaign costs.
Before relying on the result
Limitations and common mistakes
- Platform view definitions and cross-creator audience overlap are estimates unless deduplicated reporting is available.
- Coupon leakage, view-through conversions, repeat purchases, and organic brand lift are excluded.
- The model assumes one average order value and product cost.
Reference
Key terms
- Audience overlap
- People likely counted in more than one creator's audience.
- Retained order
- An attributed order remaining after cancellations and refunds.
- Creator commission
- Revenue-based compensation paid in addition to fixed creator fees.
Important note
Use the same attribution window for tracked visits, orders, and refunds.
Frequently asked questions
Should followers equal reach?
No. The view rate is applied after estimated audience overlap is removed.
Why exclude refunded orders?
They do not produce retained revenue and can still create handling costs not modeled here.
Does the calculator value brand lift?
No. It models the entered tracked direct-response path.
