Enter your follower count and engagement. The tool computes your organic view ceiling in your browser, using FORKOFF's RADAR ~500:1 views-per-like organic band, and reads which guaranteed tier (1M, 3M, or 5M) your audience can carry alone. Then it shows the gap FORKOFF's organic distribution and make-good close. Free, and nothing leaves the page.
Engagement rate as likes over followers, so a 2% rate on 40,000 followers is about 800 likes a post. Nothing is sent anywhere: the ceiling and tier read are computed in your browser. Shorthand like 40k works.
Your audience carries about 400K on its own. FORKOFF engineers the launch to hit a guaranteed 1M view tier through organic distribution, with a make-good if the tier is missed. The views are never bought.
A view is cheap to manufacture; a like is a real person choosing to engage. Because organic reach stays near 500 views per like, the likes your audience gives a launch post cap the views that reach can carry before it stops reading organic. That cap is your view ceiling.
Organic ceiling
Around 500 views per like. Multiply your average launch likes by 500 to get the largest view count your engagement can carry while the reach still reads earned. This is the number the estimator returns.
For the deeper background behind this number, read the audit of 134 X launches that established the organic-versus-bought signature.
Likes per tier
To carry a tier on your own you need tier over 500 likes on the launch post: about 2,000 likes for 1M, 6,000 for 3M, and 10,000 for 5M. Below that, distribution closes the gap.

Cost to run
Free, computed live in your browser
Two inputs, one ceiling, three tiers. The same views-forensics RADAR runs on a corpus of real launches, inverted to read what your engagement can carry.
Enter your audience and engagement
Type your follower count and either your typical engagement rate or your average likes on a normal post. Those are the only inputs. The tool derives your average launch likes from them.
Compute the organic view ceiling
The tool multiplies your average likes by the roughly 500-to-1 organic ceiling from RADAR. An account averaging 800 likes has a ceiling near 400,000 organic views on a launch post.
Read the tier in reach
The ceiling lands on a ladder against the 1M, 3M, and 5M guaranteed tiers. The tool shows the highest tier your audience carries alone, and how many launch-post likes each tier needs.
See the gap distribution closes
Where your ceiling sits below the next tier, that gap is what FORKOFF's organic distribution and make-good close. You target a tier, distribution makes hitting it repeatable, and the views stay organic.
Any time you are planning a launch and need to know which view number is realistic to target, the ceiling read is the cheapest way to set the right tier before you commit.

Methodology
The organic view ceiling is your average launch-post likes multiplied by the ~500:1 organic ceiling from FORKOFF's RADAR view-forensics: a first-party corpus of real X launch videos scored on views-per-like against 48,849 velocity snapshots. Tier thresholds (1M / 3M / 5M) are the FORKOFF guaranteed viral launch view tiers. The estimator inverts the RADAR band to read what an audience carries organically, computing the ceiling and tier map client-side with no data leaving the browser.
