Instagram Reels Income Calculator
Estimate what monthly views on Instagram Reels could earn. The result is split into platform payouts and affiliate link income.
The formula
Monthly earnings = views ÷ 1,000 × payout per 1,000 views + views × link click rate × conversion × order value × commission
The first part is what the platform pays you. The second part is what affiliate links in your bio or videos earn.
Earnings by monthly views
Assuming a payout of $0.00–$0.30 per 1,000 views, a 0.5% link click rate, 2% conversion, a $30 order and 3% commission.
| Monthly views | Platform payout | Affiliate links |
|---|---|---|
| 10,000 | $0.00 – $3.00 | $0.90 |
| 100,000 | $0.00 – $30 | $9.00 |
| 500,000 | $0.00 – $150 | $45 |
| 1,000,000 | $0.00 – $300 | $90 |
How Instagram Reels income works
Instagram does not share ad revenue with every creator the way YouTube does. Bonus and payout programs change often, may be invite-only and differ by country, so the low end is set to $0. For many creators the real money comes from sponsorships, product sales and affiliate links. Check Instagram's official help pages for programs available to you.
Ways to earn more
- Do not rely on payout programs alone. Add affiliate links, sponsorships or your own products.
- Study your top videos and make more on the same topics.
- Label affiliate links and sponsored posts as required.

Can I get paid directly by Instagram?
Programs and eligibility change and vary by country. Check Instagram help for what is available now.
Is the result accurate?
No. There is no fixed public payout rate, so the figures are assumptions.
