1. What is YouTube Influencer Rate?

The YouTube Influencer Rate estimates how much a creator can charge for sponsored content based on their view count and CPM (Cost Per Mille) rate in the Australian market. It helps influencers and brands determine fair pricing for collaborations.

The calculator uses the YouTube Influencer Rate formula:

Where:

• \( Views \) — Number of views the content typically receives
