How to use it

Use today's number. - Enter your growth
A monthly percentage (compounding) or a flat number per month. - Set the horizon and read the dates
Drag 12 to 24 months and see when you cross each milestone if the pace holds.
Where to find your numbers in X
- Note your follower count
On your X profile. - Compare with a month ago
Use X Analytics or your own note of last month's count. - Calculate the rate
New followers divided by last month's count, times 100.
Which projection to plan with
Plan with the flat line (the same number of new followers each month) and treat the compounding line as the best case. A growth rate is easier to hold while an account is small: the same percentage on a large account means far more new followers every month.
