Last updated: February 2026
TikTok Influencer Pricing Formula
Fair Price equals Median Views multiplied by CPM rate (Cost Per Thousand views). This industry-standard formula ensures accurate influencer pricing based on realistic performance expectations, not inflated averages.
This formula calculates influencer pricing based on median views (eliminating viral outliers) multiplied by the CPM rate for sponsored content (cost per 1,000 views). Unlike ad CPM ($0.02-$0.10), influencer content CPM is $3-$12 due to authenticity, creative control, and long-term value.
Median vs. Average: Why It Matters
When a creator has one viral video with 5M views but typically gets 50K views, paying based on the average (500K+) means you're overpaying by 10x. Median views show you the realistic reach you'll get—the performance you can expect 50% of the time.

FAQ
Common questions about TikTok influencer pricing
Pricing depends on median views and niche, not follower count. The industry standard is $3-$12 per 1,000 views for sponsored content. For example, a creator with 15,000 median views in the Beauty niche (CPM ~$6) would charge $90 base rate, with a fair range of $75-$110 after adjusting for engagement quality and usage rights. Nano influencers (1K-10K followers) charge $10-$200, micro (10K-100K) charge $100-$1,000, and macro (100K-1M) charge $800-$10,000 per post.
Follower count is misleading—a creator with 200K followers might only get 8K median views (4% reach), while another with 50K followers gets 15K views (30% reach). Median views show realistic performance by eliminating viral outliers. If a creator has one video with 500K views but typically gets 10K, paying based on their 'average' (60K+) means you're overpaying by 6x for performance you won't receive. Median protects your budget and reflects actual delivery.
Usage rights significantly impact pricing. Base rates assume 30-60 day organic post rights. Extended usage (90+ days) adds 20-40%, paid advertising/whitelisting adds 50-100%, and full buyout rights add 100-300%. Exclusivity clauses (preventing competitor collaborations) typically add 25-75% depending on duration. For example, a $500 base post with 12-month exclusivity and ad rights could cost $1,250-$2,000 total.
Finance, B2B, and Tech creators charge premium rates (CPM $8-$12) due to high-value audiences and complex products. Beauty and Lifestyle fall mid-range ($5-$8 CPM) with strong conversion potential. Entertainment and Gaming are lowest ($3-$5 CPM) due to broad, less commercial audiences. A Finance creator with 10K median views might charge $100-$120, while an Entertainment creator with the same reach charges $30-$50. Niche expertise and audience purchasing power drive these differences.
Warning signs: 1) Pricing based solely on follower count without discussing median views or engagement rate, 2) Massive gap between followers and views (e.g., 500K followers but only 5K median views suggests fake followers or declining relevance), 3) Engagement rate below 2% (indicates low audience interest or bot activity), 4) Refusing to share analytics or past campaign performance data, 5) Asking for payment before delivering content without a clear contract. Always verify median views from their last 20-30 posts and check engagement quality (real comments vs. spam) before negotiating.
