R.K. is UIG Data Lab's Creator & Business Economics Analyst, building free tools that help creators and small business operators think through pricing and planning decisions — platform payout ranges, brand-deal and UGC rate guidance, payment processor fees, and growth metrics like CAC, LTV, and break-even ROAS. Every calculator on this site is built as a directional guidance tool, not a forecast: outputs are ranges based on publicly available platform data, aggregated creator earnings reports, and SaaS growth benchmarks (Bessemer Venture Partners, OpenView), cross-checked before publication and re-verified quarterly. These tools are meant to give you a starting point for your own decisions — they don't predict your actual results and aren't financial, tax, or legal advice. For decisions specific to your situation, talk to a qualified professional.
