Clipping earnings calculator.

Worked examples

These use the examples in Whop's own help page. With a $3 rate per 1,000 views and a $6 minimum, a clip needs 2,000 views to enter review. With a $3,000 per-video cap at $3 per 1,000, the creator stops earning at 1,000,000 views. With a $3 rate, a $10 flat fee and 2,000 views, an approved clip pays $16 ($6 from views plus $10).

A fourth example, ours: 5,000 average views, a $1 rate, 80% approval, 10% of views not counted, 5 clips a week and no minimum, cap or fee. Counted views are 4,500, so a clip is worth $4.50 if approved and $3.60 expected. Five clips a week is 5 x 52 / 12 = about 21.7 clips a month, or roughly $78 a month. Change the rate to $3 and the same inputs triple it. The arithmetic is exact; whether any real campaign gives you those inputs is a separate question.

Methodology

Per clip: counted views = views x (1 - haircut). View-based reward = counted views / 1,000 x rate. If you entered a cap, the reward stops at the cap. If the reward is below the minimum the clip pays $0, which is the cliff. If it qualifies, the flat fee is added. Expected pay per clip = approval rate x pay if approved x (1 - platform fee). Monthly = expected pay per clip x clips per week x 52 / 12.

How the variables behave

Median views, not your best clip. Short-form views are very uneven: a few clips often get most of the views. Using your median is the cautious choice; using a recent breakout will overstate a typical month.

Approval rate. Whop's help page says payment happens only after the brand approves a post. How many of your clips are approved depends on the brand and the guidelines, so we default to an 80% placeholder you should replace with your own history.

Uncounted views. Views removed or not counted lower the reward. The 10% default is a placeholder, not a measured figure.

Platform fee. Whop's help page we read does not document a fee charged to creators, so the default is 0%. If a campaign or payout method charges one, enter it.

Payout timing. Some sources describe a seven-day earning window and a three-day hold. We could not confirm that on the help page above, so it is unverified: check the campaign and the platform's current creator terms.

What this does not cover

• Whether a brand will approve your clips.
• Platform-specific fraud detection and how it removes views.
• How each social platform defines a view.
• Your time, tools and costs.
• Taxes beyond the general note below.

Important

Results vary. Every figure on this page that depends on a campaign, a platform or your own audience is an assumption you enter or a clearly labelled example, not a promise of earnings or a typical result. This is independent information and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Whop, Vyro, YouTube or TikTok; those names are used only to describe the programs.

Taxes (general information only)

Clipping pay is generally self-employment income in the United States, and self-employment tax can apply once net earnings reach the IRS threshold. See the IRS page on self-employment tax (retrieved 2026-10) and our 1099 tax set-aside calculator. This is not tax advice; confirm your situation with the IRS or a tax professional.

FAQ

How much do clippers make?

There is no reliable average. Pay depends on the campaign rate, how many views each clip gets, whether it is approved and any cap or minimum. This calculator shows the arithmetic for numbers you enter; it does not know typical results.

How is clipping pay calculated?

Campaigns set a reward per 1,000 views. Per Whop's help page there can also be a minimum a clip must earn, a maximum per video and an optional flat fee, and payment follows approval.

What happens if my clip is under the minimum?

In the model it pays $0. Whop describes the minimum as the least a video must earn before it enters the review queue.

Does this include taxes?

No. It shows pay before tax. See the general tax note and the 1099 set-aside calculator.
