1 million views on TikTok can earn a creator anywhere from $20 to over $1,000 depending on the program they are in, with the newer Creator Rewards Program offering significantly higher payouts (up to $400–$1,000) than the older Creator Fund ($20–$40). Earnings are also influenced by factors like video content, audience engagement, and the video's RPM (revenue per 1,000 views).
