Instagram Influencer Pricing Calculator
Estimate a fair price for a sponsored Reel from any Instagram account, based on its real followers and engagement.
How Instagram influencer prices are estimated
There is no public rate card for Instagram sponsorships, but prices follow audience size and how much of that audience pays attention. The estimate uses the same model across every platform we cover:
Estimated price = followers (in thousands) × $25 CPM × engagement rate × 0.1
The result is shown as a range of plus or minus 20%. Two accounts with the same follower count can differ several times over in fair price purely on engagement.
What moves a real quote
Niche is the biggest factor: finance, beauty and B2B audiences cost more than broad entertainment. Usage rights (running the Reel as an ad), exclusivity and multi-post bundles can double a quote. Stories and carousel posts are usually priced below a Reel.
Use it before you negotiate
Brands use the estimate to sanity-check quotes. Creators use it to anchor a rate card with numbers instead of guesses. Either way, it is a starting point, not a final price.
Frequently asked questions
How much do Instagram influencers charge per post?
It scales with audience and engagement. An engaged account around 100K followers often lands in the hundreds of dollars per Reel, around 1M in the thousands.
How is the price calculated?
Followers (in thousands) × $25 CPM × engagement rate × 0.1, shown as a ±20% range. It is an estimate, not a quote.
Does it work for Stories?
The estimate is for a sponsored Reel. Stories usually price lower because they disappear after a day.
