Sponsorship Rate Calculator Widget
Help influencers quote brand deals with a method they can explain: the views a post is expected to earn, priced at a low and high rate per 1,000 views, plus an uplift when the brand wants to reuse the content, multiplied across the deliverables in the package.

<div data-a2z-widget="sponsorship-rate-calculator" data-height="700"></div> <script async src="https://a2z.tools/embed.js"></script>
Adds a small script (what it does) that sizes the widget to fit its content, loads it lazily and keeps it isolated from your page's CSS.

How it works
Brands buy attention, so the fairest anchor for a sponsored post is the audience it will reach. The widget takes average views per post - or, for accounts that know followers better than views, followers multiplied by the typical reach percentage - and prices them per 1,000 views, the same unit media buyers use. 10,000 views at 15.00 to 25.00 per 1,000 gives a base of 150 to 250. Usage rights let a brand run the creator's video in its own paid ads or channels; that extra value is added as a percentage, so a 20% uplift lifts the post to 180 to 300. The package price multiplies by the number of deliverables: three posts become 540 to 900. Rates must be zero or more, the low rate cannot exceed the high one, and deliverables must be whole numbers. No platform payout table is built in - the rates are always the reader's own.
Calculation method
- Views per post = average views, or followers x reach %
- Base price per post = views / 1,000 x rate per 1,000 views (low and high)
- Price per post = base x (1 + usage-rights uplift %)
- Package price = price per post x number of deliverables
Worked examples
Three-post package
Inputs: 10,000 average views; 15-25 per 1,000; 3 deliverables; 20% usage rights
Result: 180-300 per post; 540-900 for the package
Base 150-250 per post before the usage uplift.
Follower-based quote
Inputs: 50,000 followers; 15% reach; 20 per 1,000; 1 post; no usage rights
Result: 150 per post
50,000 x 15% = 7,500 views priced at 20 per 1,000.

Limitations
- A pricing method, not market data: it cannot tell you what brands in your niche currently pay.
- Assumes the sponsored post earns your average views; sponsored content often performs a little below organic posts.
- Production costs, exclusivity, whitelisting and rush fees are not modelled separately.
Where publishers use it
- An influencer agency's pricing page that shows clients how a quote is built
- A creator newsletter issue on negotiating a first brand deal
- A podcast or streaming community wiki with a rate-card template
- A marketing course lesson on influencer budgeting from the brand's side
- A micro-influencer's media kit page linked from their bio
Questions
Why price by views and not by followers?
Followers do not all see a post. If an account has 50,000 followers and a typical post reaches 15% of them, a brand is really buying 7,500 views. Views per post is the number closest to what the brand receives, so the widget uses followers only through a reach percentage.
What rate per 1,000 views should I use?
Your own track record is best: divide a past deal's fee by its views and multiply by 1,000. A 300 fee for 12,000 views is 25 per 1,000. The defaults of 15 and 25 are example values for illustration, not a market survey, and niches with high-value buyers such as finance or software often command more.
What are usage rights and why charge for them?
Usage rights let the brand reuse your content - in its paid ads, website or emails - usually for a set period such as 30 or 90 days. The brand gets reach beyond your audience, so creators commonly add a percentage on top. The widget applies one uplift to every deliverable.
Should a package be cheaper than single posts?
Often slightly, because one brief and one approval cycle cover several posts. The widget shows the undiscounted total; take any bundle discount off that figure deliberately rather than by accident.
What about exclusivity?
If the brand asks you not to work with competitors for a period, you give up other income. That is priced separately, usually as an extra percentage or a flat fee, and is not included here.
Do I have to disclose sponsored posts?
Yes. In the United States the FTC requires a clear disclosure such as #ad when a creator has a material connection with a brand, and many other countries have similar rules. Disclosure does not change the price.
