TikTok Influencer Rates in 2026: What Creators Charge
TikTok's unique algorithm means even smaller creators can achieve massive reach. Here's what you should charge for TikTok sponsorships.
TikTok Sponsorship Rates by Follower Count
TikTok rates are often lower per-follower than Instagram because of the platform's viral potential. A video can reach far beyond your follower base, which brands factor into pricing.
TikTok Video Rates
The main content format. Typical view rate is 15-40% of followers, but viral videos can exceed this significantly. Average CPM: $6.
- Nano (1K-10K): $20 - $75
- Micro (10K-50K): $75 - $350
- Mid-tier (50K-500K): $350 - $3,000
- Macro (500K-1M): $3,000 - $7,000
- Mega (1M+): $7,000+
TikTok Story Rates
Stories have lower reach but are great for quick promotions. Average CPM: $3.
- Nano (1K-10K): $10 - $30
- Micro (10K-50K): $30 - $150
- Mid-tier (50K-500K): $150 - $1,000
- Macro (500K-1M): $1,000 - $2,500
- Mega (1M+): $2,500+
What Makes TikTok Pricing Different
1. Viral Potential
TikTok's algorithm can push content to millions regardless of follower count. This means brands sometimes prefer working with micro-influencers who create engaging content over mega-influencers with lower engagement.
2. Content Creation Effort
TikTok videos often require more creativity and editing than other platforms. Factor this into your pricing.
3. Younger Demographics
TikTok skews younger, which can affect rates in certain niches. Finance and B2B content may command lower premiums compared to Instagram or LinkedIn.
