How This Calculator Works
What this calculator does
Models how trend-aligned content can boost views per post and accelerate follower growth.
How the calculation works
Share and save rates feed a virality score. Trend boost multiplies average views; a share of boosted views converts to new followers.
Formula
Boosted Views = Avg Views × Trend Boost New Followers/Mo ≈ Boosted Views × (Share × 0.15 + Save × 0.08) × Posts/Week × 4.33
Example
8k avg views with 2× trend boost and 5 posts/week → potentially 16k views/post and hundreds of new followers per month.
