How We Calculate This
Formula
Creator Fund Earnings = (Monthly Views / 1,000) × RPM
RPM = Base RPM × Engagement Multiplier × Niche Multiplier
Base RPM Range: $0.02–$0.04 per 1,000 views
Engagement Multipliers:
• Excellent (10%+): 1.5×
• Good (5-10%): 1.2×
• Average (2-5%): 1.0×
• Below (<2%): 0.7×
Example:
500,000 views/month, 5% engagement, lifestyle niche
Base RPM: $0.03
Engagement multiplier: 1.2×
Adjusted RPM: $0.036
Monthly earnings: (500 × $0.036) = $18.00Assumptions
- •Base RPM: TikTok Creator Fund pays $0.02–$0.04 per 1,000 views on average
- •Engagement Impact: Higher engagement rates increase RPM by 20-50%
- •Niche Variance: Premium niches (finance, tech) pay 20-40% more
- •Geographic Factors: US/UK/CA audiences pay highest CPMs
Data Sources
- •TikTok Creator Fund official rates (2024)

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does TikTok Creator Fund pay per 1,000 views?
TikTok Creator Fund typically pays $0.02–$0.04 per 1,000 views ($20–$40 per million views). The exact RPM depends on your engagement rate, niche, audience location, and video completion rate.
How much can I make per month from Creator Fund?
With 500,000 monthly views: $10–$20/month. With 1 million views: $20–$40/month. With 10 million views: $200–$400/month. Most creators find Creator Fund earnings supplemental, with brand deals paying 10-50× more.
Why are my Creator Fund earnings so low?
Common reasons: (1) Low engagement rate reduces RPM, (2) Your audience is in low-CPM countries, (3) Short watch time/completion rate, (4) Oversaturated content niche, (5) TikTok's Creator Fund pool is split among more creators. Focus on other income streams like brand deals for higher earnings.
Is TikTok Creator Fund worth it?
Yes for passive income—it requires no extra work beyond posting. But don't rely on it as primary income. At 50K followers earning $50-100/month from Creator Fund, you could earn $500-2,500/month from just 1-2 brand deals instead.
Can I be in Creator Fund and do brand deals?
Yes! You can (and should) do both. Creator Fund earnings are passive and don't conflict with brand deals, LIVE gifts, or TikTok Shop. Most successful creators use Creator Fund as one of 3-5 income streams.
How often does TikTok Creator Fund pay?
Creator Fund pays monthly, but you need a minimum balance of $10 (in the US) to cash out. Payments are typically processed 30-45 days after the end of each month. You can withdraw earnings to PayPal or bank account.
What countries are eligible for TikTok Creator Fund?
Creator Fund is available in the US, UK, Germany, France, Italy, and Spain. You must be physically located in an eligible country and have local tax documentation. TikTok continues expanding to new markets, but availability varies by region.
Does posting more videos increase Creator Fund earnings?
Yes, but only if they get views. Posting 3 quality videos daily that each get 50K views will earn more than 1 video getting 100K views. However, posting too much low-quality content can hurt your account performance and lower overall RPM.
