Follower growth projector
Enter where you are and how fast you're growing. You get the arithmetic of where that leads if nothing changes. It's a projection, not a prediction.
How to use it
- Enter your follower count today.
- Enter a weekly growth rate, a fixed number of new followers a week, or both.
- Set how far ahead to look and a target.

This is a projection, not a prediction
The maths is simple: each week, followers x (1 + rate) + fixed new followers. Real growth doesn't compound smoothly. It comes in bursts when a post travels and slows when it doesn't, and percentage growth usually falls as an account gets bigger. Use this to see what a pace implies, not what will happen.
To find your recent weekly rate, enter your count from a few weeks ago as "Followers today", today's count as the target and the number of weeks in between as "Weeks ahead". The "weekly rate needed" figure is your actual rate over that period.
