Overview
Use when quoting feed or Reels integrations separately. Fraudulent follower inflation poisons averages—audit reach quality first.
Formula
Average views/reach × (CPM ÷ 1000). Align reach definition with Insights exports.
Example calculation
Using the default example values from the JSON seed for this tool:
- Average views per post
- 68000
- Sponsorship CPM
- 28
Result: $1,904.00 (Estimated Instagram sponsorship price)
How to interpret this result
Ballpark value from average reach/views per post × CPM ÷ 1000.
Stories vs Reels vs feed can differ—split when your averages diverge.
Brand safety and audience geography affect achievable CPM.
When to use this calculator
- When Stories, Reels, and feed perform differently and you pick one average
- Before you reply with a rate card based on reach or views
- When audience geography shifts sponsor appetite
- When fraud or bot inflation is a concern and you verify reach
Rule of thumb
Story reach is not feed reach—split averages when negotiation depends on format.
Terms used in this calculator
- CPM
- Cost per one thousand impressions—how you buy or compare reach buys.
Common mistakes
- Equating story views to feed reach without adjustment.
- Ignoring follower quality and fraud in rate cards.
- Forgetting image/video usage windows in contracts.
What to do next
Compare TikTok or podcast integrations if sponsors want a bundled package.
How to improve this result
- Keep Reels, Stories, and feed averages separate when performance diverges.
- Share audience countries and ages—CPM quotes without them age poorly.
- Cap revision rounds in writing for static and video assets.
