Instagram Money Calculator

See what brands pay for a sponsored post on an account your size. Enter your followers, and add your engagement and Reel views for a closer estimate.

Your likes, comments and Reel views make the estimate closer. Use the average of your last 9 to 12 posts and leave out ads.

How the estimate works

The calculator uses two methods. The first is the price range brands usually pay for a feed post on an account your size, from Influencer Marketing Hub's Instagram rates guide, updated on 31 August 2026. The second prices a Reel on its views. Many brands pay $5 to $25 for every 1,000 views, so a Reel with 20,000 views is worth about $100 to $500.

If you add your likes and comments, the calculator works out your engagement rate and tells you which part of the range to aim for.

What moves your price up

  • Engagement. Brands check likes and comments before they agree a price. A strong engagement rate lets you ask for the top of the range.
  • Your niche. Topics where buyers spend a lot, such as finance, beauty or travel, tend to pay more.
  • Where your followers live. Brands pay more to reach the countries they sell in.
  • What the brand asks for. Extra posts, Stories, the right to use your content in ads, or a promise not to work with competitors should all cost more.
