The real number behind it
One 14-day Original Content Rewards payout to @DanielSmidstrup was $856.43 for 698,000 verified views. That is $1.23 per 1,000 verified views. The old Creator Revenue Sharing program paid the same account $1.28 and, at its best, $1.47 per 1,000 verified views. A quiet period with fewer replies paid about $0.39.
Total views pay less per 1,000, because only the verified ones count. The full breakdown is in how much Original Content Rewards pays.
How it works
- 1
Enter the views on your own posts. Use your X analytics for any period. Replies do not count toward the payout bar, so leave them out.
- 2
Pick your niche and how verified your audience is. Finance, AI and tech pay the most per view. A tech or business audience is often more verified than a general one.
- 3
Read the range. The middle assumes a reply-heavy routine like the anchor payout. Quiet periods land near the low end.

X pay per 1,000 views: common questions
- How much does X pay per 1,000 views?
- Usually somewhere between $0.04 and $0.70 per 1,000 views. X pays on views from verified (Premium) users, so the answer depends on how many of your viewers are verified and on your niche. A real anchor: one Original Content Rewards payout was $856.43 for 698,000 verified views, which is $1.23 per 1,000 verified views. If a quarter of your views are verified, that works out to about $0.31 per 1,000 total views.
- How much does X pay per 1,000 impressions?
- On X, views and impressions are the same number. So the answer is the same: roughly $0.04 to $0.70 per 1,000 impressions in total, or about $1.23 per 1,000 verified impressions in a tech niche.
- Why do verified views matter so much?
- Original Content Rewards pays on qualified impressions: views on the Home timeline from unique Premium users, with at least half the post on screen. Views from people without Premium do not count toward the payout. Two accounts with the same total views can earn very different amounts.
- Do views on my replies count?
- Not for eligibility. X’s 500,000-impression bar counts Home timeline impressions on your own posts, and replies are excluded. Use the views on your own posts in this calculator.
- Who can get paid by X?
- You need Premium, Premium+ or Premium Business (Basic is not listed), at least 500 verified followers, and 500,000 qualified impressions in the last 90 days. Then X reviews your content for originality. Check where you stand with the monetization requirements checker.
- How accurate is this?
- It is an estimate. The rate is pinned to a real payout, but the same account has been paid between about $0.39 and $1.47 per 1,000 verified views. Reply-heavy periods paid more. That is why the calculator shows a range, and why the low end sits far below the middle.
