Clippers · Pay models
Clipping vs creator fund programs: who pays what.
Clipping campaigns and platform creator programs pay for views in different ways. Type in your own per-1,000-view rates to compare the two on the same views.
Both rates are yours to enter. With the example inputs, 1,000,000 views at a $1.00 campaign rate per 1,000 pays $1,000.00, while a $0.05 platform rate per 1,000 pays $50.00. These are placeholders, not typical rates; real rates vary.

Worked example
Suppose a campaign pays $1.00 per 1,000 views and a platform program pays you $0.05 per 1,000 qualified views. On 1,000,000 views the campaign pays $1,000.00 and the program pays $50.00, a difference of $950.00. To earn $1,000.00 from the program at that rate you would need about 20,000,000 views. If the campaign has a $400 cap, its payout stops at $400 and the comparison changes. Change any number to match your own terms.
These rates are invented for the example. They are not typical, expected or promised.
Methodology: how this works
The calculator divides your views by 1,000 and multiplies by each rate you type, applying the campaign cap if you set one. Nothing else is assumed: no platform fee, no tax, no growth.
| Campaign clipping | Platform revenue-share program | |
|---|---|---|
| Who pays | The campaign organizer or brand, often through a marketplace such as Whop | The platform, from its own revenue pool |
| Per-view basis | A rate set in each campaign's terms, often with caps or review | Set by the platform and can change month to month |
| Eligibility gate | The campaign's own rules and approval | Published thresholds, such as those in the eligibility checker |
| Whose content | Usually someone else's, so you need their permission | Your own original content |
The content row is the one that matters most: clipping someone else's video without permission is a copyright problem on any platform. Use the permission checklist first. The table describes how the two models are generally structured, not the terms of any named marketplace.
What this does not cover
- The actual rates or terms of any marketplace or platform
- Taxes on either income (see the set-aside calculator)
- How many views you will get, which no calculator can know
- Fees a marketplace may take
- Whether you qualify for a program
Results vary. This page uses the numbers you enter. It does not predict, estimate or promise what anyone will earn from clipping, and it collects nothing: everything runs in your browser.

FAQ
Is clipping the same as the YouTube or TikTok creator fund?
No. Clipping campaigns are typically paid by an organizer for views on clips of someone else's content; platform programs pay creators from the platform's own revenue for their original content.
Which pays more per view?
It depends entirely on the campaign terms and your platform analytics. Enter both rates to compare; this page makes no claim about typical rates.
Do I need the creator's permission to clip?
Yes, when the content is theirs. Written permission, such as campaign terms, is what matters; see the checklist.
Can I do both?
Nothing in this calculator prevents it, but each program has its own rules about reused content, so read both sets of terms.
Why does the campaign cap matter?
A cap stops the campaign payout at a fixed amount, so extra views earn nothing more from that campaign.
