Want more negotiating power?

Above-average views weigh more than subscribers in this calculation. A views package helps give the initial boost before the next proposal.

How the estimate is made

CPM method based on real views — not on subscriber count.

1 We read your real views

Average views of the channel's latest videos, through the official YouTube API.

2 We apply market CPM

Sponsorship CPM adjusted by your views-per-subscriber rate — a channel with a higher rate negotiates a higher CPM.

3 Format adjustment

A dedicated video is worth more than an integration; Shorts are worth less, due to lower reach and production.

Reference CPM (2026)

International market surveys put sponsorship CPM at US$ 15 to US$ 80 per thousand views, depending on the niche — converted here as an order of magnitude for the Brazilian market, not as an exact exchange-rate quote.

Low view rate ~$5.30 CPM
Average view rate ~$9.54 CPM
High view rate ~$14.84 CPM

Niche weighs heavily here: finance and tech channels usually negotiate CPM well above average; generic entertainment, below.

Frequently asked questions

Why does the calculation use views instead of subscribers?

Because on YouTube we can read the real views of each video — unlike Instagram, where that data isn't public. CPM (cost per thousand) is calculated on real views, not on a reach estimate.

Why is YouTube CPM usually higher than Instagram's?

YouTube videos have higher retention and a richer advertising context — viewers watch longer and the brand has more room to get its message across. Market surveys put sponsorship CPM at US$ 15 to US$ 80 per thousand views, depending on the niche — well above the typical Instagram range.

Is an integrated mention worth the same as a dedicated video?

No. A mention inside a video that was going to be published anyway is worth less than a whole video dedicated to the sponsor — the calculator already applies this format adjustment.

Is this what the brand will actually pay?

It's a reference range based on market CPM and your real recent views — not a final quote. Niche, exclusivity and prior relationship with the brand change the final value, and only direct negotiation defines that.

Before buying anything, it's worth reading how much a monetized channel is worth.
