Your real rate lives in the math.
This is the working calculator that pairs with the Ultimate Creator Guide — a plug-and-play Google Sheet with four tabs:
My Numbers — track your real engagement rate (the one brands actually look at)
Pricing Calculator — turn your tier + engagement into an actual rate
Rate Card — a clean, ready-to-send version of your numbers
Deal Evaluator — run any brand offer through the math before you say yes
Comes with a one-page TL;DR: tier doesn't equal rate, start-here floor pricing ($100/10K followers), the real engagement rate formula, where the add-on money lives, and the money-talk script.
Do the inner work first. Then come here and run the numbers honestly.
