TikTok Creator Fund rates by country varied more than most creators expected — two accounts with similar views could see very different payouts because advertiser demand, audience purchasing power, and country-level brand budgets shaped effective RPM. One important framing note before the numbers: the Creator Fund itself is discontinued. TikTok support states the program is no longer available, so the country-level rates below are historical benchmarks. They still matter, though: the same regional pattern carries over to the Creator Rewards Program, TikTok's current view-based payment program, where US and UK views remain the most valuable.
Historical Creator Fund RPM by Region
These are the regional multipliers and RPM ranges used in our calculators, with the US as the 1.0x baseline. Treat them as directional historical benchmarks, not guaranteed payout values:
| Region | Multiplier vs US | Historical Creator Fund RPM (per 1,000 views) |
|---|---|---|
| United States | 1.0x | $0.02-$0.05 |
| United Kingdom | 0.9x | $0.018-$0.045 |
| Canada | 0.85x | $0.017-$0.043 |
| Australia | 0.8x | $0.016-$0.04 |
| European Union | 0.75x | $0.015-$0.038 |
| Asia | 0.6x | $0.012-$0.03 |
| Middle East & North Africa | 0.55x | $0.011-$0.028 |
| Latin America | 0.5x | $0.01-$0.025 |
| Africa | 0.3x | $0.006-$0.015 |
Even in the best-paying market, the Fund's ceiling was low: 1 million US views earned roughly $20-$50. That gap between effort and payout is a large part of why TikTok replaced the program.
Why Country Differences Exist
Country-level TikTok earnings are mostly a monetization-environment problem, not a talent problem. Four drivers matter most:
- Advertiser competition in your region.
- Audience purchasing power and conversion rates.
- Vertical demand (finance, tech, beauty, gaming, etc.).
- Payment and program availability rules.
Niche compounds the geography effect: finance creators in high-demand ad markets historically out-earned entertainment creators at the same view count because advertiser demand for those audiences is stronger. The same dynamic holds under Creator Rewards today.
What Regional Rates Look Like Under Creator Rewards
The Creator Rewards Program replaced the Fund in supported markets and pays on qualified views — unique For You feed views watched for more than 5 seconds — rather than raw view counts. Creator-reported US rates commonly land between $0.50 and $2.00 per 1,000 qualified views, roughly 10-40x the legacy Fund baseline. TikTok publishes no official rate card and no per-country table, but the historical pattern persists: high-value ad markets (US, UK, Canada, Australia) sit at the top, and emerging markets earn a fraction of the US rate.
Eligibility for the current program is set out on TikTok's official Creator Rewards page: 10,000 followers, 100,000 views in the last 30 days, age 18+ (19 in South Korea), a Personal account in good standing, an eligible region, and original public videos longer than one minute. Country availability changes by policy cycle, so always verify in-app before relying on a single monetization path.
Country Tiers for Planning
Tier 1 Markets
Tier 1 markets generally include the US, UK, Canada, and Australia. Creators in these countries usually see stronger campaign inventory, higher view-based rates, and larger sponsorship budgets. The tradeoff is higher creator competition and stricter quality expectations.
Tier 2 Markets
Tier 2 markets include major EU countries and fast-growing LATAM markets. Earnings can be strong in specific categories, but results are less consistent across months due to campaign mix and seasonal demand shifts.
Tier 3 or Restricted Markets
Creators in restricted or partially supported markets should plan around non-program income streams. Prioritize TikTok LIVE, direct sponsorships, and affiliate models where geographic payout constraints are lower.
How to Increase RPM in Any Country
You cannot control your country baseline, but you can control payout quality signals:
- Improve completion rate and average watch duration on videos over one minute.
- Publish content in advertiser-friendly categories with clear intent.
- Build repeat viewers through series formats instead of one-off posts.
- Track monthly RPM by content pillar and double down on winners.
- Layer brand deals and affiliate offers so income is not tied to one payout model.
Regional Optimization Strategy
If your audience is mixed across countries, optimize for the highest-value segment:
- Use captions and hooks tailored to your top monetizing geography.
- Post at local peak times for your priority country.
- Reference local trends, products, and buying behavior.
- Build trust with practical recommendations that convert.
The goal is not only more views, but better-qualified views from higher-value audiences.
Practical Use Case
Suppose you average 1 million monthly views:
- Under the legacy Creator Fund at US rates, that was about $20-$50 per month.
- Under Creator Rewards, if roughly half those views qualify and your rate lands at $0.50-$2.00 per 1,000 qualified views, the estimate is about $250-$1,000 per month.
That spread is why country context — and the shift from the Fund to Creator Rewards — matters so much in forecasting. The same creator effort produces materially different outcomes depending on regional ad economics and which program is doing the paying.
FAQ
Is the Creator Fund still available in any country?
No. TikTok support states the Creator Fund is no longer available. The countries historically served by the Fund were the US, UK, Germany, France, Spain, and Italy; the rates on this page are legacy benchmarks from that era.
Which countries have the Creator Rewards Program?
TikTok expands availability by region over time and does not publish a single definitive list, so the reliable check is in-app: if Creator Rewards appears in TikTok Studio and you meet the thresholds, your country is supported.
Why do US views pay more than views from other countries?
Advertiser demand. US ad budgets are the largest in the world, so platforms earn more per US view and pass a larger share to creators. That is why the US sits at the 1.0x baseline in our regional data.
Do these regional multipliers apply to Creator Rewards too?
Directionally, yes — high-value ad markets still pay more per view — but TikTok publishes no official per-country rates for Creator Rewards. Use the multipliers as planning context, then validate against your own analytics.

Data Sources and Method Notes
The regional multipliers above are the same values used by our calculators, derived from the legacy Creator Fund's US baseline of $0.02-$0.05 per 1,000 views. Creator Rewards figures are estimates based on published RPM ranges and TikTok's official documentation. All values are directional planning benchmarks, not guaranteed payouts — validate assumptions with your own monthly performance tracking.
