Compare campaigns on equal terms
A $2 rate with a $50 clip cap can pay less than a $0.80 rate with no cap. Run both through the same inputs and see which actually pays more for your audience.
Plug in a campaign's per-1K rate, your average views and your posting pace. See the daily, weekly and monthly payout, and where a view cap or a budget pool stops the money.
Model what a clipping campaign pays out from your posting pace, average views and the campaign's per-1K rate.

Month = 52 weeks ÷ 12 (about 4.33 weeks). Payouts assume every view qualifies under the campaign's rules; most programs exclude bot traffic and views outside the eligible window.
A clipping earnings calculator turns a campaign's payout terms into a realistic income forecast. Clipping campaigns pay creators to cut short, viral-ready moments from long videos (podcasts, streams, interviews) and post them on TikTok, Reels and Shorts. Most pay per 1,000 qualifying views, so your income depends on three things: how much each clip gets watched, what the campaign pays per 1K, and how many clips you post.
Use it before joining a campaign to compare offers on equal terms, or after a week of posting to plug in your real averages and project the month.
Four inputs, two optional limits, and you have a monthly forecast. Takes about a minute.
Find it in the campaign brief. It's listed as CPM, RPM, or "$ per 1,000 views". Type it or tap a preset. Rates of $0.25 to $4 are common; anything higher usually comes with tight rules.
Use the average across all your clips, not your best one. If you haven't posted yet, start at 5K and adjust once you have a week of real numbers. The slider goes to 100K.
Clips per day across every account you run, and how many days a week you post. The calculator scales a single clip's value up to the week, the month (4.33 weeks) and the year.
Tick "Payout cap per clip" if a single clip stops paying past a view ceiling, and "Monthly campaign budget" if the campaign has a fixed pool shared by all clippers. The result flags when either limit is binding.
The big number is your monthly estimate. Below it: per clip, per day, per week, per year, total volume and an effective hourly rate. Use the sensitivity table to see what happens if your average views double, then try a second campaign's rate to compare offers.
Your inputs are saved in this browser, so you can come back and adjust them after a week of posting.
Campaign briefs quote a rate per 1K and little else. This turns that one number into something you can plan around.
A $2 rate with a $50 clip cap can pay less than a $0.80 rate with no cap. Run both through the same inputs and see which actually pays more for your audience.
The effective hourly figure assumes 15 minutes per clip. If it lands under what you'd earn elsewhere, you know before you've spent a month finding out.
The sensitivity table shows whether doubling your average views or doubling your clip count does more for the month, so you spend effort where it pays.
Plug in your real averages after the first week and the monthly projection becomes a goal you can track, not a guess from a campaign's best-case example.
Budget pools run out and clip caps bite on your best-performing posts. The calculator flags both so a viral week doesn't turn into an unpaid one.
Everything runs in your browser. Nothing is uploaded, there's no account, and your inputs stay saved on this device for the next time you check in.
