How this is calculated: smoothed base CPM for your size (no cliff at tier edges) (Micro: $28/1k views) × niche multiplier (1x) × reach factor (1.1x — strong reach — slight premium). Reel = full value · Post = 70% · Story sequence = 40% · Ad usage = 50% add-on. Always adjust for deliverable complexity and exclusivity.

FAQ

Sponsored Rate Calculator FAQ

How are sponsored Instagram rates calculated?+
We multiply your average views (per 1,000) by a tiered base CPM — Nano $35, Micro $28, Mid-tier $22, Macro $18 — then apply your niche multiplier (up to 1.8x for finance & SaaS) and a reach-health factor. A Reel is full value; posts price at 70%, story sequences at 40%, and 30-day ad usage rights at 50% as an add-on.
What should a micro-influencer charge for a reel in 2026?+
A micro creator (10k–50k followers) averaging 15k–20k views typically lands between $400 and $900 per dedicated reel depending on niche — finance and tech pay the most. Use the calculator above with your real numbers for a precise quote.
How much extra should I charge for paid ad usage rights?+
The industry standard is a 30–50% add-on on the base deliverable for 30 days of whitelisting or boosting rights. This calculator prices it at 50% of the reel rate — always put duration and renewal terms in writing.
Why does my view-to-follower ratio change my rate?+
Brands pay for attention, not follower counts. A 40k account averaging 20k views outperforms a 200k account averaging 10k views, so strong reach earns up to a 25% premium while cold distribution is discounted.
