And what clipping pays instead.

a month from 1M views, if your account qualifies
1M views a month at 10K per clip is about 3.3 clips a day.
The same views in a clipping campaign at the $1.30 median: $1,170 a month.
- 10,000 followers
- 100,000 video views in the last 30 days
- Videos longer than 1 minute
- 18 or older, in an eligible country
Only original content qualifies. Reposted stream clips usually do not, so most clip accounts never earn from this program.
Rates checked November 2026. Estimates, not a promise: none of the platforms publishes a fixed rate.
How much does TikTok pay per 1,000 views?
Through the Creator Rewards Program, about $0.40 to $1.00 per 1,000 qualified views. A view qualifies when it comes from the For You feed and the viewer stays for at least a few seconds, so the number in your analytics is higher than the number TikTok pays for. 1 million qualified views comes to roughly $400 to $1,000.
Getting into the program is the harder part: 10,000 followers, 100,000 views in the last 30 days, and only videos longer than one minute earn. TikTok also pays for original content only, which rules out most accounts that repost stream clips.
How much do YouTube Shorts pay per 1,000 views?
Most channels see $0.03 to $0.07 per 1,000 views, finance and business channels somewhat more. Shorts are not paid per ad. The ad revenue from the Shorts feed goes into a pool that is split by each channel's share of views, and the channel keeps 45% of its part. 1 million views comes to about $30 to $70.
The bar to get paid at all is the YouTube Partner Program: 1,000 subscribers and 10 million Shorts views in 90 days. From 1 February 2027 that rises to 20 million for new channels, and existing ones need 10 million in the past 90 days every month to keep earning from Shorts.
How much do Instagram Reels pay?
Nothing per view in 2026. Instagram ended its Reels Play bonus, and the bonuses that still exist are invite-only with no published rate. Reels earn through brand deals, subscriptions and campaigns that pay for the views. Facebook runs its own Content Monetization program that also pays for reels, but it is invite-only as well.

Creator programs vs clipping campaigns
The platform programs pay the person who made the video. A clip of someone else's stream usually does not count as yours, so for a clip account the programs are mostly out of reach, however many views it gets. On YouTube that even holds with the streamer's permission, as we show in can you monetize Twitch clips on YouTube.
Campaigns work the other way round. A streamer or brand puts up a budget and pays per 1,000 views on clips of them. On Whop, 100 live campaigns in October 2026 paid between $0.20 and $5.00, with a median of $1.30, and Whop keeps 10%. The same 1 million views that earn $30 to $70 on YouTube Shorts come to about $1,170 in a median campaign. The catches: views have to pass the campaign's checks, and a campaign stops paying once its budget is spent. More on the platforms in which platform pays the most for clipping.
How the calculator works
Earnings are views divided by 1,000, times the rate. For the platforms the calculator shows a range, because none of them publishes a fixed rate and what creators report spreads that wide. For a campaign it uses the rate you enter, by default the Whop median, minus Whop's fee. Clips a day is your monthly views divided by your average views per clip, over 30 days.

Turning views into clips
Whichever way you get paid, the views come from posting often and posting early. klypra watches the Twitch channels you pick and clips the moments chat reacts to while the stream is still live, then sends the finished vertical clip to your phone.
