What is RPM and how is it different from CPM?

RPM (revenue per mille) is what the creator actually earns per 1,000 views after the platform’s cut, across all monetized and non-monetized views. CPM is what advertisers pay per 1,000 ad impressions before the split. This calculator uses RPM because it reflects take-home pay.

How accurate is this?

It’s a rough estimate. Real earnings swing widely with niche, audience country, season, ad formats, and how much of your audience is monetizable. Use the low–high range as a sanity check rather than a promise.

Why doesn’t Instagram use views?

Instagram doesn’t pay per view the way YouTube and TikTok’s programs do, so creator income there comes mostly from brand sponsorships. This tool estimates that from your follower count, engagement, and number of sponsored posts.
