How this works
The method, plainly.
Each week, your followers grow by your weekly rate, compounded. If you change how often you post, we scale that rate by the square root of the change (so twice the posts gives about 1.4 times the rate), capped at twice the rate. This is an illustrative assumption to show the shape of the trade-off, not a measured effect.
If you add a boost, it lands in the week you choose, and the same weekly rate then applies to the larger base. We don't assume a boost speeds up your organic growth. It can make a profile look more established to new visitors, but content and offer decide whether they follow.
Everything runs in your browser. Treat the chart as a way to compare plans, not as a prediction. The biggest lever is still the quality and consistency of what you post.
Questions, answered.
How do I find my weekly growth rate?
Take the followers you gained over the last four weeks, divide by the followers you had at the start of that period, then divide by 4 and multiply by 100. For example, gaining 200 followers from a start of 2,500 over four weeks works out to 200 ÷ 2,500 ÷ 4 × 100 = 2% a week.
Is this a forecast?
No. It's an illustration of what happens if your growth rate stays constant. Real growth is lumpy: one post can bring a spike, and a quiet month can flatten things. Use it to compare plans, not to predict a number.
Why does posting more only help a little?
We assume diminishing returns: doubling your posts raises the weekly rate by about 1.4 times, not 2 times, and the effect is capped at 2 times. That's a simplifying assumption, not a measured effect. More posts only help if they're as good as the ones you post now.
Does a boost make my organic growth faster?
The projector doesn't assume that. It applies the same weekly rate to the larger base after the boost, which is why the lines drift apart slowly. A bigger count can make a profile look more established to new visitors, but whether they follow still depends on your content.
What happens if boosted followers drop?
Platforms can remove accounts and engagement at any time. Every Social Engine tier has a refill window (30, 60 or 90 days), and you can press Refill on the order if your count drops inside it.
