How This Is Calculated
How We Calculate Your TikTok Earnings
Our TikTok Money Calculator estimates your potential earnings using the following formula:
Estimated Earnings = (Views ÷ 1,000) × RPM Rate
TikTok earnings are calculated differently from YouTube. The RPM is adjusted based on:
- Country: TikTok Creator Fund payouts vary significantly by region. US and European creators earn substantially more than creators in developing markets.
- Niche: While TikTok pays less per view than YouTube, certain niches like finance and beauty attract higher-paying brand deals and bonus payouts.
- Content Format: TikTok now supports longer videos (up to 10 minutes), which can earn more per view through in-feed ads. LIVE content earns primarily through virtual gifts.
Important: TikTok creator earnings come from multiple sources including the Creativity Program Beta, in-feed ads, LIVE gifts, and brand partnerships. Our calculator focuses on platform-direct earnings and does not include sponsorship income.
How Much Does TikTok Pay Creators in 2026?
TikTok has evolved significantly as a monetization platform. With the Creativity Program Beta replacing the original Creator Fund, payouts have increased substantially for eligible creators. In 2026, TikTok RPM (Revenue Per Mille) ranges from $0.20 to $1.50 depending on audience location and content performance.
TikTok RPM Rates by Country (2026)
Your audience location is the single biggest factor affecting TikTok earnings:
| Country | Average RPM | RPM Range | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| United States | $0.80 | $0.40 – $1.50 | Highest-paying market |
| United Kingdom | $0.65 | $0.30 – $1.20 | Strong European market |

TikTok vs YouTube: Which Pays More?
While TikTok pays less per view than YouTube, its algorithm makes it significantly easier to go viral. A video with 1 million views on TikTok might earn $400–$800, while the same views on YouTube could earn $5,000–$8,000. However, reaching 1 million views on TikTok is dramatically easier than on YouTube.
Can You Make a Full-Time Income on TikTok?
Here is what TikTok earnings look like at different view levels (US audience, Creativity Program Beta):
| Monthly Views | Estimated Monthly Income | Income Level |
|---|---|---|
| 500,000 views | $400 | Coffee money – nice supplement |
| 2,000,000 views | $1,600 | Side income – meaningful extra cash |
| 5,000,000 views | $4,000 | Part-time income – livable with low expenses |
| 10,000,000 views | $8,000 | Full-time income – when combined with brand deals |
Pro tip: Most successful TikTok creators earn the majority of their income from brand sponsorships, not platform payouts. TikTok serves as a discovery engine that drives brand deals worth 10–100x more than creator fund payments.
