TikTok payout calculator
Creator Rewards estimate from qualified views and region.
Pool payout, not an ad share
YouTube tells you the Watch Page split. TikTok does not tell you what share of advertising your video produced. It allocates a rewards pool. That is why two creators with similar views can see different RPMs in the same week, and why this estimate is a band.
Rewards ≈ (monthly views × qualified share / 1,000) × Rewards RPM.
Do not paste TikTok views into a YouTube RPM
A million TikTok plays is not a million YouTube long-form views. The ads and the units differ. For a side-by-side comparison, use the compare page, which evaluates each platform on its own unit.
Questions
How much does TikTok pay per 1,000 views?
Creator-reported Creator Rewards RPM is often about $0.40 to $1.20 on qualified US views. Total views pay less because many plays are not qualified.
What is a qualified view?
TikTok counts views on eligible original videos, generally 1 minute or longer, with real watch time. A scroll-past in the For You feed does not count. If you treat every play as qualified, you will overstate income.
Does TikTok pay more than YouTube?
Per view, long-form YouTube usually pays more, sometimes much more. TikTok can still win on volume. Compare monthly dollars, not RPMs from different units.
