How it works
Estimated earnings are qualified views divided by 1,000, times your RPM. RPM is what you earn per 1,000 qualified views, and it is your own figure. It varies widely by niche, country and season, so this page gives no typical value. Take it from your own earnings reports. Which views qualify, and what is paid for them, is set by TikTok and can change. This page does not describe those rules, so check TikTok's own creator help for the current terms.
estimated earnings = qualified views × RPM ÷ 1000
qualified views needed = earnings target × 1000 ÷ RPM
Worked example
Example numbers, not benchmarks: 500,000 qualified views in a month and an example RPM of $0.80. Your own RPM will differ.
- 1Estimated earnings500,000 × $0.80 ÷ 1,000 = $400.00
Working backwards: an earnings target of $400.00 at the same RPM needs ≈ 500,000 qualified views. To work out an ad price per 1,000 impressions, use the CPM calculator.
What RPM should I use?
RPM varies widely by niche, country and season, so this page gives no number. Use the RPM from your own earnings reports for the period you are planning, then try a lower and a higher value to see the range.
