Influencer Rate Calculator Australia
Work out what to pay an Australian creator, priced on what their posts actually deliver.
Enter their recent views and engagement, and this returns a range in Australian dollars for one post. Advertising rights and exclusivity are priced separately. Free, no sign-up.
This Price Is Only as Good as the Numbers
The figure above was built from whatever went into the form. Australia Experiences checks a creator's real performance before any rate is agreed, so a brand is never pricing from a media kit.

Australian brands are typically quoted $100 to $400 for a nano-creator post and $300 to $3,000 for a micro-creator post, before any advertising rights. Above that, rates climb fast and the structure of the deal matters more than the headline figure. Two creators of the same size can deliver very different numbers of views, which is why this tool prices on views rather than on follower count.
| Tier | Followers | Per post (AUD) |
|---|---|---|
| Nano | 1K to 10K | $100 to $400 |
| Micro | 10K to 100K | $300 to $3,000 |
| Macro | 100K to 1M | $2,000 to $25,000 |
| Mega | 1M+ | $15,000 to $70,000+ |
An Australia Experiences benchmark, compiled in August 2026 from published Australian rate guides and our own campaigns. A guide, not a survey. Every figure is for one post published to the creator's own audience, organic only, with no advertising rights attached.
How Much to Pay a Micro-Creator
A micro-creator, 10,000 to 100,000 followers, runs $300 to $3,000 for one post. The band is wide because the tier is wide: a creator at 20,000 followers and one at 90,000 are both micro, and what the two deliver can be further apart than their follower counts suggest. Views, engagement and category decide where inside that band a creator lands, which is what the calculator above works out.
Why Do Two Creators the Same Size Cost Different Amounts?
The tool prices two things: how many people watch a post, and how many of them react to it. Follower count predicts neither.
A Following No Longer Predicts an Audience
Instagram and TikTok both decide who sees a post by interest, not by who follows the account. Instagram's own explanation of how it ranks reels says most of what people see comes from accounts they do not follow. Follower count is not a performance indicator any more.
Paying for Performance, Not Size
One creator has 8,000 followers and averages 25,000 views. Another has 80,000 followers and averages 6,000. Priced by follower count, the larger account costs more. Priced on views and the reactions to them, the smaller one is worth around three times the larger, which is what this tool returns.
What Sets the Price
Views and engagement do most of it: how many people watched, and how many liked, saved or shared. Category comes next, because fewer creators can credibly cover finance than cover food. Then platform and format. Advertising rights sit on top, priced separately.
Or Hand the Whole Campaign Over
This prices one creator. Australia Experiences finds them, checks their real numbers and agrees the rates across a whole campaign, from a network of over 500 vetted creators in Australia.
Influencer Rate FAQ
How much should you pay a TikTok creator compared with an Instagram one?
Slightly less on TikTok for the same views. The format rewards speed and volume, so creators post more often and price each one lower. The gap is small enough that the bands in the table above cover both platforms.
Follower count is a worse guide on TikTok than anywhere else. It recommends by interest rather than by who follows an account, so views regularly run several times a creator's follower count. Price from the views on either platform.
How do you work out what a creator's rate should be?
Start with their average views across the last ten to twelve posts, not their follower count, and average them so one unusual post does not decide the answer. Add the engagement on those views: likes, comments, saves and shares.
Those two do most of the work. Category, platform and content format move the number after that, and advertising rights are priced on top rather than included. Our engagement rate calculator takes the same figures and shows how they compare with creators the same size.
How much does a whole campaign cost, not just one creator?
More than one rate multiplied out. Australia Experiences campaigns have run from 4 creators to 41, and the number of creators drives the budget far more than any single rate does. Coordination, briefing, rights and reporting sit on top of the creator fees.
How our pricing works covers what a managed campaign includes.
Are advertising rights included in the rate?
No, and that is deliberate. The base fee buys one post published to the creator's own audience. Running that content as an ad, keeping it permanently, or locking the creator out of your competitors are separate permissions with separate prices, which is why two quotes for the same creator can differ by more than the post itself.
Agree them before the post runs. Once it is your best-performing ad, the creator knows exactly what it is worth to you. The mechanics sit in our content licensing service.
