YouTube Sponsorship Calculator

Price a sponsored video from your typical views and the rate you ask, or check what an offer pays per 1,000 views.

Use the median of your recent videos.

You choose this. It is not a market rate.

Only if you want to offer one.

Enter the typical views and the price per 1,000 views you want to ask.

Good to know
  • Sponsors often price a video by its expected views, as an amount per 1,000 views. This tool does the sum. It does not know what any brand will pay, so the price per 1,000 views is a number you choose.
  • Use the views a typical video gets, not your best one. The median of your last ten videos is a safer number than the average.
  • A price also depends on what the sponsor gets: where in the video the mention sits, how long it is, how long the video stays up, whether they can reuse it in ads, and whether you promise not to work with competitors. Charge more when they ask for more.
  • Compare an offer with what the same views would earn from ads. If a sponsor pays less than ads would, the video is cheaper for them than for you.
  • Send sponsors a clear quote, and keep a written agreement. This is not legal or tax advice.

About the Sponsorship Rate Calculator

?What the sponsorship calculator does

It does the sum behind a sponsorship price. Many sponsors price a video by its expected views, as an amount per 1,000 views. You give the views and the price per 1,000 views you want to ask, and the tool shows the price for one video and for a bundle.

It can also check an offer you received: it shows what the offer pays per 1,000 expected views and how it compares with the ad income on the same views. It has no built-in rates, because what a brand pays depends on the brand, the niche and the deal. Everything runs in your browser.

★Examples

1

One video

12,000 views at 20 per 1,000 views.

Example:

12 × 20 = 240 for the video.

2

A bundle

Three videos of 12,000 views each, with a 10% discount.

Example:

720 before the discount, 648 after it, which is 216 a video.

3

Checking an offer

An offer of 400 for one video of 12,000 views, with an ad RPM of 3.50.

Example:

400 ÷ 12 = 33.33 per 1,000 views. Ads would earn 42 on those views, so the offer is 9.5 times ad income.
