How the calculator works
You pick the platform, the content type and your audience country, and enter how many views or streams you have. The calculator uses a single formula:
Estimate = amount ÷ 1,000 × the country's reference value on that platform.
Example: 500,000 views of a long YouTube video with an audience in Colombia, with a reference value of US$ 1, give an estimate of US$ 500.
None of these platforms publishes an official rate per country. The values are Daily Scroll planning references, chosen on purpose from the low end: we would rather fall short than show an optimistic number.
What about the length of the content
You can choose short content (under 1 minute), medium (2 to 5 minutes) and long (6 to 10 minutes). We don't apply length multipliers because there is no public basis solid enough to do it without making up numbers. Length does change two things:
- YouTube Shorts and long video: they are two separate models and you choose them with the format, not the length. A Short can run longer than 1 minute and a short video is not always a Short.
- TikTok: videos under 1 minute are not part of Creator Rewards, so they are not calculated.
- YouTube long video: monetized videos of 8 minutes or more can have mid-roll ads. The estimate does not add that effect.
On Spotify, length is not asked for: royalties don't depend on it the same way they do on a monetized video.
YouTube Shorts: reference values
Shorts uses a different revenue-sharing system than long videos: revenue is distributed according to the eligible engaged views of each country, not all public views. These values are a Daily Scroll reference benchmark based on real data from a Short owned by the site's owner. They are not an official YouTube rate or a country average, and they are never mixed with long-video values.

YouTube long video: reference values

Spotify: reference values
Spotify explains that royalties are not calculated with a fixed rate per stream. That is why the result is a royalty estimate, not a payment per stream.
| Audience country | USD per 1,000 streams |
|---|---|
| United States | US$ 3.24 |
| Australia | US$ 2.4 |
| United Kingdom | US$ 1.86 |
| Canada | US$ 1.5 |
| Germany | US$ 1.66 |
| Netherlands | US$ 1.07 |
| Italy | US$ 0.99 |
| South Korea | US$ 1.04 |
| Spain | US$ 0.49 |
| Mexico | US$ 0.21 |
| Brazil | US$ 0.26 |
| Argentina | US$ 0.08 |
| Chile | US$ 0.14 |
| Colombia | US$ 0.77 |
| Peru | US$ 0.05 |
| Ecuador | US$ 0.76 |
| Indonesia | US$ 0.18 |
| Uruguay | US$ 0.07 |
Method: The lowest of the values published per market (paid plan and free ad-supported plan). Reference sources: Dynamoi, Spotify royalties by country (published through June 2026); Spotify for Artists: how royalties are calculated.
Facebook: reference values
Facebook has no universal value. The figure is only a video monetization reference: it does not mix in Reels, Stars, subscriptions or brand deals. For now there are values for only a few countries.
| Audience country | USD per 1,000 views |
|---|---|
| United States | US$ 0.1 |
| United Kingdom | US$ 0.08 |
| Australia | US$ 0.09 |
| Canada | US$ 0.08 |
| Germany | US$ 0.07 |
Method: Low end of the public video monetization ranges. Reference sources: CreatorCalc, CPM and RPM by platform.
TikTok: reference values
The estimate covers Creator Rewards only and uses qualified views, which are the ones that meet the program's conditions, not the video's total public views. If your market has no value, we don't show any figure.
| Audience country | USD per 1,000 qualified views |
|---|---|
| United States | US$ 0.72 |
| United Kingdom | US$ 0.6 |
| Germany | US$ 0.49 |
| France | US$ 0.49 |
| Japan | US$ 0.44 |
| South Korea | US$ 0.44 |
| Brazil | US$ 0.27 |
| Mexico | US$ 0.4 |
Method: Lower values from public 2026 references for Creator Rewards. Reference sources: Upload-Post, TikTok calculator (public 2026 references); TikTok Help: Creator Rewards Program.
Why your real result can differ
- Eligibility: the account must meet each platform's monetization requirements.
- Mixed audience: if you are watched from several countries, the real result will be a mix. Pick your main country to get a reference.
- Topic and time of year: ad rates change with the topic of the content and the time of year.
- Format: each platform monetizes its short and long formats differently.
The most reliable figure is always the one in your own account dashboard.
