Understanding the TikTok Creator Fund
Published on November 5, 2025
The TikTok Creator Fund is a program that pays eligible creators for their video views. It's one of the main ways to monetize your content directly on the platform.
Eligibility Requirements
To join the Creator Fund, you must meet the following criteria:
- Be based in the US, UK, France, Germany, Spain, or Italy.
- Be at least 18 years old.
- Have at least 10,000 followers.
- Have at least 100,000 video views in the last 30 days.
- Have an account that abides by the TikTok Community Guidelines and Terms of Service.
How Are Payments Calculated?
The payment amount is not fixed. It's calculated based on a variety of factors, including the number of views, the authenticity of those views, the level of engagement on the content, and adherence to the Community Guidelines. The rate can fluctuate, but generally, it's a few cents per thousand views. While it's not a get-rich-quick scheme, it can provide a nice stream of income for active creators.
