Data note: Everything runs in this browser tab on the rate gauge: your episode downloads and offers stays on this device, nothing is uploaded, and the reading is rebuilt only when you press run.
Perspective: Before: the reader compared the offer to what other shows get. After: they can see a $400 offer against 4,200 downloads is a $95 CPM, far above their own band.

Boundary and sources
This rate gauge works only on the download figures and sponsorship offers you paste you paste. It does not value your audience, does not guarantee a sponsor will pay a rate, and does not negotiate the deal. The figures describe what you supplied, not what is true in the world. Confirm anything you plan to act on with your co-host or a media sales contact before signing an exclusivity term before you rely on it.
- Every figure comes from the download figures and sponsorship offers you paste you paste; nothing is looked up, scraped or asserted as verified.
- Method: CPM = offer ÷ (downloads ÷ 1000), computed against the average of the episodes you supplied
- Sample values are labelled samples — illustrative by design, not your data and not a quotation of any organisation's policy.
