Mathematical Audit

How LinkedIn Newsletter Growth & Valuation Is Calculated

The calculator uses compound growth to project subscribers, then estimates revenue from sponsorship rates and engagement metrics.

Projected Subscribers = Current Subscribers × (1 + Monthly Growth Rate)^Months
Monthly Reach = Avg Subscribers × Open Rate × Issues Per Month
Monthly Clicks = Monthly Reach × Click Rate
Monthly Sponsor Revenue = Sponsored Post Rate × Issues Per Month
List Valuation = Projected Subscribers × Revenue Per Subscriber

LinkedIn newsletters grew 150% year-over-year in 2025. Average open rates on LinkedIn newsletters are 45–55%, significantly higher than traditional email newsletters (20–25%). Sponsored post rates vary widely from $100 to $10,000+ per issue based on niche and subscriber count.
