Set the price
Your subscription price anchors everything else. Find where total revenue peaks for your niche, volume and strategy — it is rarely the highest price you could defend.

Estimate the month
Feed that price plus your subscriber count, tips and PPV into the earnings calculator. The result is a ceiling: the month where every fan who wanted to spend got a reply.

Work backwards from a goal
Flip it: pick the income you want and see what it takes in subscribers — and how much less it takes once tips and PPV carry their share.

Somewhere between step two and reality sits the part no calculator models: whether fans get replies. That gap is explained honestly in why estimates miss — and closing it is what Velvetly is for.
Frequently asked
- In what order should I use these tools?
- Price first, then estimate, then goal. Pricing anchors the other two: an estimate at a price you are about to change is a guess about a guess.
- What if I have no numbers yet?
- Use the presets. The earnings calculator ships with "just started", "growing" and "established" scenarios drawn from what pages at those stages actually look like — start there and replace numbers as real ones arrive.
