FAQ

Why is TikTok RPM so different from YouTube?

TikTok rewards programs use different eligibility rules and often lower RPMs. Always paste the effective rate from your creator dashboard, not a viral blog number.

Are brand deals included in RPM?

No — enter sponsorships as their own line so you can scenario-plan content vs deals.

Is this financial advice?

No — educational estimates only. Platforms change programs and payouts; verify official dashboards and local tax rules.

RPM is variable

TikTok RPMs swing hard by country and program and often sit below YouTube. Dashboard figures beat blog guesses.

Brand + LIVE

Model gifts and deals separately — see whether content or commerce carries you.

Worked example

500k views · 60% qualified · $0.80 RPM · $2,000 Shop GMV · 15% commission · $400 brand

→ Creativity ≈ (300k/1000)×0.80 + Shop $300 + brand … minus costs/tax = net in panel.
