Instagram Earnings Calculator
What your Instagram earns.
Calculate Instagram earnings from sponsored posts and affiliate revenue. Estimates monthly and annual creator income plus an effective CPM figure.
What this tool does
This calculator models monthly and annual income from Instagram by combining sponsored post revenue with affiliate earnings. It takes your follower count, number of sponsored posts per month, average earnings per sponsored post, and monthly affiliate revenue to estimate total creator income and derive an effective cost-per-thousand-impressions (CPM) figure. The result shows what your account generates across both revenue streams combined. Sponsored post frequency and per-post rates are the primary drivers of variation in your total earnings. For example, someone with a modest following might use this to track income as sponsorship deals grow. The calculator does not account for platform fees, taxes, seasonal variation, or changes in follower growth, and treats all inputs as constant throughout the period modeled. Results are for illustration only.
Quick answer: with the default values, the result is $2,300.00 (Monthly Earnings Potential). Adjust the values below for your own figures.

Instagram earnings combine sponsored posts and affiliate revenue. This calculator sums both to show monthly and annual potential plus CPM (revenue per 1,000 followers).
100k followers, 3 posts/month at 500/post, 800 affiliate monthly: 2,300 monthly = 27,600 annually. CPM 5 per 1000 - mid-range. Premium niches (finance, tech) often 15-30 CPM.
Track over time to see channel value. Most successful creators have both ad revenue AND affiliate streams; relying only on sponsors creates instability.
Quick example
With followers of 100,000 and sponsored posts per month of 3 (plus average earnings per post of 500 and affiliate revenue monthly of 800), the result is 2,300.00.
Which inputs matter most
You enter Followers, Sponsored Posts per Month, Average Earnings per Post, and Affiliate Revenue Monthly.
What's happening under the hood
Post earnings = posts × per post. Monthly total = post earnings + affiliate. Annual = monthly × 12. CPM = per post / followers × 1000.
3 × £500 + £800 = $2,300.00/mo.
Inputs

Sources & Methodology
Methodology
This calculator computes monthly creator earnings by multiplying the number of sponsored posts per month by the average earnings per post, then adding monthly affiliate revenue to derive total monthly income. Annual earnings are calculated by multiplying the monthly total by twelve. The model treats both sponsored post revenue and affiliate revenue as constant month-to-month and does not account for seasonal fluctuations, platform algorithm changes, audience growth, rate variations across different post types, or fees paid to agents or platforms. Cost per thousand impressions (CPM) is derived by dividing average earnings per post by total followers and multiplying by one thousand, which models an assumed engagement relationship but does not reflect actual impressions, engagement rates, or individual post performance variation.
