About Sponsorship Value Calculator

Sponsorship is valued by pricing the exposure it delivers against equivalent paid media, then adjusting for brand fit and association value. The adjustment is judgement, so it should be stated explicitly rather than buried.

Formula

Sponsorship value

Value = audience × exposures / 1000 × equivalent CPM × (1 + fit premium)

Worked example

With the default values below, Sponsorship Value Calculator returns Indicative Sponsorship Value of $144,000.00. Change any input above and every figure here is recalculated in your browser.

Assumptions and limits

  • The result is derived only from the 4 inputs listed above. Anything not among them is not part of the calculation.
  • In particular, this calculator does not take inflation, tax or compounding frequency into account.
  • Figures are rounded for display to 4 decimal places, so totals built from several rounded parts can differ slightly from the unrounded arithmetic.
  • Figures are estimates based on the inputs given. Marketing performance, platform fees and conversion behaviour vary by audience, channel and season. Use this as a planning guide, not a forecast.
  • This is an estimate for general information and not professional financial, tax or legal advice. See the full disclaimer for the limits that apply to this kind of calculator.

How these calculators are built and tested is described on the Methodology page. If a figure looks wrong, please report it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why add a fit premium?

Because association with the right property carries value beyond raw impressions, and a poor fit carries less.

Is media equivalence a complete valuation?

No. It ignores hospitality rights, content usage and category exclusivity, which are often the most valuable elements.
