Instagram Money Calculator
Estimate what a sponsored Instagram post, Reel, or Story could pay from your followers, engagement rate, and niche.
How the Instagram Money Calculator Works
This calculator gives a rough estimate of what a sponsored Instagram post, Reel, or Story might be worth, based on your follower count, engagement rate, and content niche.
How the estimate is built
It starts from a common creator rule of thumb, roughly $10 per 1,000 followers for a single post, then adjusts that base number up or down using your engagement rate and a niche multiplier, since categories like finance and beauty typically command higher rates than general lifestyle content.
Why real offers vary
- Usage rights: whether the brand can reuse your content in ads or on their own channels changes the price significantly.
- Exclusivity: agreeing not to work with competing brands usually raises the rate.
- Deliverables: a bundle of posts, Stories, and Reels is priced differently than a single post.
- Your negotiation and portfolio: consistent, high-quality content and a track record with brands both push rates up.
Use this number as a starting point for a conversation, not as a fixed price.
