1. What is YouTube Influencer Rate?

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

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the YouTube Influencer Rate formula:

Where:

• \( Views \) — Number of views the influencer typically gets
• \( CPM \) — Cost Per Mille (cost per thousand views in RM)
