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:

  1. Country: TikTok Creator Fund payouts vary significantly by region. US and European creators earn substantially more than creators in developing markets.
  2. Niche: While TikTok pays less per view than YouTube, certain niches like finance and beauty attract higher-paying brand deals and bonus payouts.
  3. 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?

In 2026, TikTok RPM (Revenue Per Mille) ranges from $0.20 to $1.50 depending on audience location and content performance.

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 ViewsEstimated Monthly IncomeIncome Level
500,000 views$400Coffee money – nice supplement
2,000,000 views$1,600Side income – meaningful extra cash
5,000,000 views$4,000Part-time income – livable with low expenses
10,000,000 views$8,000Full-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.
