ROI Metrics

What the influencer ROI calculator computes

Untapper's built-in ROI calculator takes a creator's real performance data and your campaign budget to produce the numbers that matter for making investment decisions.

💰

CPM (Cost Per Mille)

How much you pay per 1,000 views. Calculated from your budget and the creator's median views - not inflated averages that include viral outliers.

📈

Estimated Revenue

Projected revenue from the partnership based on median views, estimated conversion rate, and your average order value.

🎯

ROAS

Return on ad spend - how many dollars you get back for every dollar invested. The single number that tells you if a partnership is profitable.

Why median views matter more than averages

Most influencer pricing calculators use average (mean) views. But one viral post can inflate the average dramatically, making a creator look like a much better investment than they actually are.

  • Average views: 180K - inflated by one 1.2M viral post
  • Median views: 45K - what you'll actually get on a typical sponsored post
  • Untapper uses median views to calculate ROI, giving you a realistic projection you can trust
  • The difference between median and mean can be 2-4x - that's a 2-4x error in your budget planning

Understanding influencer pricing with real data

Influencer pricing is notoriously opaque. Creators quote based on follower counts, but what matters is the actual views and engagement your campaign will receive. Here is how to think about pricing with data.

  • Follower count is a vanity metric for pricing. A 500K-follower creator whose posts get 15K views is a worse deal than a 100K-follower creator whose posts get 40K views.
  • CPM varies wildly by niche. Finance and B2B creators command $30-80 CPM. Lifestyle and entertainment creators are typically $5-20 CPM. Untapper helps you calculate the real CPM for any specific creator.
  • Negotiate with data. When you can show a creator that their median views are 45K (not the 180K average they claim), you negotiate from a position of strength.
  • Factor in viral upside. A creator with high viral potential may deliver 3-5x the median views on a lucky post. Untapper shows viral potential so you can assess this upside.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about influencer ROI

What is a good ROAS for influencer marketing?

A ROAS of 3x or higher is generally considered good for influencer campaigns with direct-response goals. For brand awareness campaigns, even 1-2x can be acceptable since the value extends beyond immediate sales. Untapper helps you project realistic ROAS before committing budget.

What is a typical CPM for influencer marketing?

CPM varies significantly by platform, niche, and creator tier. Micro-influencers on TikTok typically range from $5-15 CPM, while Instagram macro-influencers can be $25-50 CPM. Finance, tech, and B2B niches command premium rates of $40-80 CPM.

How does Untapper calculate estimated revenue?

Untapper multiplies the creator's median views by an estimated conversion rate and average order value that you provide. This gives a realistic revenue projection based on typical (not best-case) performance.
