TikTok sponsorship rates

TikTok reach can multiply the follower base several times over, so brands pay for viral potential on top of audience size. On this network, a single video can reach far beyond your followers, which is why reach matters more than follower count here. These are the CPM and suggested-rate benchmarks for each niche, for an average TikTok account with 68,000 followers and 4.8% engagement.

What these figures explain

TikTok has the lowest CPM after X — $9 base — and delivers the most followers per piece: 68,000 on average. The combination produces rates of $330 to $390 that look low next to Instagram, but buy more impressions: a $335 piece returns about 37,200 at its $9 CPM.

The highest engagement in the catalogue — 4.8 % on average — is why brands keep buying young-product campaigns here. A 5.5 % rate in beauty on 61,200 followers is 3,366 interactions per piece, and that volume is what gets compared with a display campaign's CPE, not with CPM.

What not to assume: that a piece's reach repeats. TikTok runs on the algorithm, so the 30-day average is the only honest figure and a viral piece is not a rate reference. If the brand asks for reach guarantees, what it is asking for is paid media, and that is billed separately.

Rates, formats and negotiation on TikTok.

Negotiation guides
How much does a TikTok sponsorship cost in 2026?
For a mid-size account of about 68,000 followers, benchmark rates run from 265 USD to 540 USD per deliverable, with a suggested average of 357 USD. The spread comes from niche: finance and tech pay a higher CPM than gaming or lifestyle for the same reach.
What CPM applies on TikTok?
The base CPM is 9 USD per 1,000 impressions and the average across our niche benchmarks is 11 USD. On TikTok, a single video can reach far beyond your followers, which is why reach matters more than follower count here.
Which format pays best on TikTok?
Formats with more watch time or reach potential pay best: organic videos, Spark Ads and content series. A dedicated video is not the same asset as a 15-second Story even with identical followers, so the calculator applies a different reach factor to each.
Does the same rate apply to every TikTok niche?
No. Within TikTok, the niche moves the CPM by up to 83%. Finance and Travel sit at opposite ends of the range (15 USD vs 10 USD). Use your niche page for the exact reference.
How do I raise my TikTok rate without losing the brand?
Bring three numbers (floor, suggested and premium), price usage rights separately and offer a smaller deliverable instead of a discount. If your engagement is above the niche benchmark, that is your strongest argument: brands are buying real attention, not a follower count.
