On Whop, creators and brands pay clippers to cut short videos from their content and post them. Payment is usually a set amount for every thousand views the clips collect.
Put in your daily views and the rate a campaign pays and you’ll see what a day, a month and a year could look like.
How to use the Whop Revenue Calculator#
- Enter your views. Use a recent daily average across all your clips.
- Enter the payout rate. Use the rate stated in the campaign you’re clipping for.
- Adjust for paid views and fees. Optional. Lower the paid share or add a fee if the campaign works that way.
The formula#
With 50,000 views a day at 1 dollar per 1,000 views, you earn 50 dollars a day, or about 1,500 dollars over 30 days. At 3 percent in fees, that drops to about 1,455 dollars.
Read the campaign terms#
Payout rates differ from one campaign to the next, and so do the rules. Some campaigns cap total payouts, count only views from certain platforms or countries, or pay only after review. Check the details before you rely on any projection. Platform fees and payment processing can also take a share.
Realistic planning#
Views fluctuate. A single clip can do far better than the others, and most don’t. Plan from an average over weeks, and treat a good month as a bonus, not a baseline. To compare with other platforms, see the TikTok money calculator.
What a month might look like#
This table assumes 50,000 views a day, with every view paid and a 3 percent deduction. Rates are set by each campaign, so these are examples, not quotes.
| Payout per 1,000 views | Per day | Per month (30 days) |
|---|---|---|
| $0.25 | $12.12 | $364 |
| $0.50 | $24.25 | $728 |
| $1.00 | $48.50 | $1,455 |
| $2.00 | $97.00 | $2,910 |
| $3.00 | $145.50 | $4,365 |
At $1 per 1,000 views, the same 50,000 daily views are worth about $1,455 a month. Halve the paid share to 50 percent and the figure halves too.
Why not all views pay#
Campaigns often restrict which views count. Some only pay for views on certain platforms, some exclude views from countries the brand does not target, and some pay only when a clip meets quality rules or an approval step. Views can also be removed if a platform detects spam or fake activity. Enter the share of views you expect to be paid, based on past campaigns, and not the figure at the top of your analytics.
Treating it as a business#
Clipping can look like easy income, but it is competitive, since many people cut the same content for the same pool. Track the time you spend on each clip, the number of clips that reach the views you need, and the payout per hour of work. A campaign that pays well per view but needs hours of editing may be worth less than a lower rate with simpler edits. Payout caps matter too: if a campaign has a fixed pool, more clippers mean a smaller share each. Compare platforms with the TikTok money calculator.
Time per dollar#
Work out what you earn per hour of work, which matters more than the headline rate. If a clip takes 45 minutes to edit and post and earns $6 on average, you make $8 an hour. If a campaign pays half as much per view but clips take 15 minutes, you make $4 for 15 minutes, which is $16 an hour. A lower rate with simple edits can win. Track the clips that do well and repeat what they have in common, such as length, hook and topic.
Frequently asked questions#
Cutting and posting short clips from a creator’s content, and being paid by the number of views.
Each campaign sets its own rate. Use the rate from the one you join.
No. The result is an estimate. Campaign rules and view counts decide what you actually earn.
Check the current fee that applies to your campaign and add it above.
In most campaigns, the brand sets a rate for each 1,000 views your clips collect, and the platform pays out after the views are checked. Rules, caps and approval steps differ from one campaign to another, so read the terms. The calculator multiplies your views by the rate and lets you subtract fees.
Not usually. Views swing from day to day, campaigns end, and rules change. Treat the average over several weeks as your guide and the best week as a bonus. Keep some savings for slow months, and have more than one source of income if you depend on it.
Start the clip with the most interesting moment, keep it short, add captions and post at times when your audience is online. Test different hooks, and look at which clips hold viewers longest. Following the campaign’s rules on format and sources matters, since non-compliant clips are not paid.
