What moves the number

  • Paid ad usage, 90 days: +40% to +60% on the content fee
  • Perpetual paid usage: multiples of the content fee; most creators should decline early on
  • Category exclusivity, 30 days: +20% to +40% depending on how much work it blocks
  • 60-day payment terms, no advance: negotiate to 30 days, or ask for a 30-50% advance
  • High engagement (above 5%): +20% to +50% over the base range

How we build these ranges

Ranges combine reported deal data from creators, public rate-card research and platform benchmarks for India. Where our data is thin, the confidence label says so, and the range stays wide rather than pretending to be precise. As more verified deals flow through Fair & Square, these ranges tighten and become personal to your profile.

The free deal checker applies these benchmarks to your specific offer, terms included, and shows a fair range for you.

Stop guessing. Check your actual offer.
