Brand Deal Rate Calculator
Suggested sponsorship rate from your followers and a base rate.

Total for this brand deal
Formula
Suggested Rate = (Followers ÷ 1,000) × Your Base Rate. There's no single correct sponsorship formula — set your own base rate using your engagement rate, niche, content type, and usage rights as adjustment factors.
Important Note
Reference only, not a fixed standard: industry rules of thumb commonly cited range from $10–$100 per 1,000 followers depending on platform, niche, and engagement — nano/micro creators often land near the higher end of $ per follower due to stronger engagement, while reach alone (without engagement) tends to price lower.
Example Scenarios
Nano Creator
10K followers
$150
Micro Creator
50K followers
$1,250
Mid Creator
100K followers
$2,500

- •Confirm usage rights, exclusivity, and payment terms before signing.
FAQ
Is there a standard brand deal rate?
No. Brand deal rates vary depending on your niche, audience, engagement, and campaign requirements. Use this calculator as a starting point, not a fixed pricing standard.
Should I charge more for exclusivity?
