Views are pay
UGC pay calculator: what your views are worth
Published Oct 20, 2026
What one video earns
The same band math, applied marginally, that appears line by line on every monthly statement. Uncapped: the past-50,000 rate has no ceiling.
How the math works
The bands apply the way tax brackets do: each rate applies only to the views inside its band, not to the whole video. The first 10,000 views earn $1.00 per 1,000, views 10,001–50,000 earn $1.50 per 1,000, and everything past 50,000 earns $2.00 per 1,000. These are the NanoCorp Creators program’s live tier set, uncapped — the same bands printed on how UGC pay per 1,000 views works.
Worked examples, so you can check the calculator against paper: 25,000 views per video and 8 videos a month works out to $32.50 per video, $260 a month. 60,000 views per video and 10 videos works out to $90 per video, $900 a month.
How this compares
Most UGC pay calculators online — Collabstr, UGCJobs, Miniclass — price a video flat: a fixed fee per deliverable agreed before you shoot. Current marketplace averages sit around $150–$212 per video, with the platform taking a cut of the rate. Flat fees are fine for a one-off; they just stop at delivery. Views-based pay is worth less for a flop and more for anything that travels.

Questions creators ask about pay calculators
How is UGC pay per view calculated?
Views-based programs pay per 1,000 views, usually on a rising scale. Ours applies each rate only to the views inside its band, the way tax brackets work: $1.00 per 1,000 on the first 10,000 views, $1.50 up to 50,000, and $2.00 on everything past that. The rates are the program’s live tier set, uncapped.
What is $1.00–$2.00 per 1,000 views worth a month?
It depends on your views. At 25,000 views per video and 8 videos a month, each video earns $32.50 and the month is $260. At 60,000 views per video and 10 videos, each video earns $90 and the month is $900. The calculator above does the band math for any numbers you type.
Do I need followers to get paid per view?
No. There is no follower minimum in the NanoCorp Creators program — pay is based on the views a video actually earns, not the size of your account when you apply.
Is there a cap on per-view pay?
No. The bands are uncapped: past 50,000 views every additional 1,000 views pays $2.00, on every video, every month.
When do I get paid?
Monthly. Each creator gets a statement showing every video, the band math and the total; the founder approves it, each creator is paid, and the statement is marked paid.
Check your real numbers in the calculator above, and if the math works for you, apply to the NanoCorp Creators program — paid per 1,000 views, no follower minimum, one screen and a reply within 3 days.
