Estimate your TikTok earnings
Drag your follower count and enter your average views per video and how often you post. The calculator estimates monthly Creator Rewards income and the typical brand-deal rate for your tier. All figures are estimates, not guarantees.
Estimate what your TikTok could earn.
Estimates only. Creator Rewards pays $0.40 to $1.00 per 1,000 qualified views (roughly half of total views qualify), and brand rates vary by niche, engagement, and usage rights. Your real earnings depend on your account and deals.
How much does TikTok pay per view?
TikTok's Creator Rewards Program (the 2026 replacement for the old Creator Fund) pays an RPM of $0.40 to $1.00 per 1,000 qualified views. That is 20 to 50 times the old Creator Fund, which paid about $0.02 to $0.04 per 1,000 views.
| Views on a video | Estimated Creator Rewards payout |
|---|---|
| 10,000 views | $2 to $5 |
| 100,000 views | $20 to $50 |
| 500,000 views | $100 to $250 |
| 1,000,000 views | $200 to $500 |
| 5,000,000 views | $1,000 to $2,500 |
*Based on TikTok's 2026 Creator Rewards RPM of $0.40 to $1.00 per 1,000 qualified views. Only qualified views (over 5 seconds, from the For You feed, on videos longer than one minute) count, so real payouts fall below the raw view total.
To be eligible you need at least 10,000 followers, 100,000 video views in the last 30 days, an account in an eligible country, and videos longer than one minute. Views on Stories, photo posts, and videos under a minute do not qualify.

How much do TikTok creators make by follower count?
Follower count sets your brand-deal rate more than your Creator Rewards income. Here is what each tier typically charges for a single sponsored post in 2026.
| Tier | Followers | Per sponsored post | Monthly range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nano | 1K to 10K | $25 to $200 | $50 to $1,000 |
| Micro | 10K to 100K | $100 to $500 | $500 to $5,000 |
| Mid-tier | 100K to 500K | $500 to $2,500 | $2,000 to $15,000 |
| Macro | 500K to 1M | $2,500 to $5,000 | $10,000 to $40,000 |
| Mega | 1M+ | $5,000 to $15,000+ | $25,000+ |
*Sponsored-post rates are 2026 creator-market benchmarks. Actual pricing depends on niche, engagement rate, deliverables, exclusivity, and usage rights. Treat them as a band, not a guarantee.
Engagement rate matters as much as follower count. A 30,000-follower creator with a 12% engagement rate and a tight niche audience often out-earns a 300,000-follower creator with a 2% rate, because brands pay for buyers, not vanity numbers.
The five ways a TikTok account makes money
The creators earning the most stack multiple income streams rather than relying on view payouts alone.
| Income stream | How it pays | Who it suits |
|---|---|---|
| Creator Rewards | $0.40 to $1.00 per 1,000 qualified views. | Any eligible creator posting long-form video consistently. |
| Brand deals | Flat fee per post by follower tier and niche. | Creators with an engaged, on-niche audience brands want. |
| TikTok Shop commission | 5% to 20%+ commission on affiliate sales you drive. | Creators who review or demo products in a buying niche. |
| LIVE gifts | Viewers send gifts that convert to Diamonds and cash. | Creators who go LIVE regularly and build a community. |
| Own products or services | Merch, courses, coaching, or UGC services you sell. | Creators with a loyal audience and something to sell. |
*TikTok Shop commission rates are set per product by the seller. Creator Rewards and LIVE gift payouts follow TikTok's 2026 program terms.
TikTok Shop is usually the highest-ceiling stream for creators in a product niche. A single viral review can earn more in affiliate commission than a month of Creator Rewards, which is why brands compete hard to recruit the right creators onto their programs.
