How the estimate works
X keeps its formula private, so the calculator uses the one relationship everyone can see: more qualifying impressions means more money. You control every assumption.
Your impressions
Enter your monthly impressions from X Analytics, or tap a preset. The slider goes from 10,000 to 1 billion.
A payout rate
Pick low, typical or high from the range creators report, or type your own. Already paid? Calibrate from your last payout.
Original share
Only original posts earn under the new program. Lower the slider if part of your reach comes from reposts or clips.
Your result
Monthly, per-payout and yearly estimates, whether you'd clear the $30 minimum each cycle, and the impressions you'd need for a goal.
Monthly estimate = impressions ÷ 1,000,000 × rate per million × share of impressions on original posts
X payout examples by impressions
Monthly earnings at the calculator's three presets, assuming all posts are original. Real payouts vary widely; treat these as ballpark figures.
| Impressions per month | Low ($3/M) | Typical ($8.50/M) | High ($15/M) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1,000,000 | $3.00 | $8.50 | $15.00 |
| 5,000,000 | $15.00 | $42.50 | $75.00 |
| 10,000,000 | $30.00 | $85.00 | $150 |
| 25,000,000 | $75.00 | $213 | $375 |
| 50,000,000 | $150 | $425 | $750 |
| 100,000,000 | $300 | $850 | $1,500 |
A creator with 5 million impressions a month at the typical rate earns about $42.50 a month, or roughly $19.50 per 14-day payout cycle. That's under the $30 minimum, so the money is paid out every second cycle.
