Pricing assumptions (estimates, edit to match your market)
Estimates only. Real rates depend on niche, audience country, usage rights and how much work the brief needs.
How the Instagram post price is estimated
Start from followers
followers ÷ 1,000 × base rateMany brands start at about MX$2,000 per 10,000 followers (MX$200 per 1,000). Edit the base rate for your niche.
Adjust for engagement
× (your ER ÷ typical ER), capped 0.5–2An account whose followers react more is worth more per follower. The adjustment is capped so one viral post doesn't skew it.
Adjust for format
Reel ×1.25 · Carousel ×1.1 · Photo ×1 · Story ×0.5Reels take more work and usually cost 20–30% more. Stories vanish after a day and cost about half.
Frequently asked questions
How much do Instagram influencers charge per post?
Rough 2026 ranges: nano (1K–10K) MX$400–MX$4,000 micro (10K–50K) MX$4,000–MX$40,000 mid-tier (50K–500K) MX$40,000–MX$100,000 macro (500K–1M) MX$100,000–MX$300,000.
How much is 10K followers worth per post?
Around MX$2,000 per post using the MX$200 per 1,000 followers benchmark, more for a Reel or a high engagement rate.
Do Reels pay more than photos?
Usually yes. Reels take longer to make and reach more people, so creators often charge 20–30% more than a feed post.
Does Instagram pay creators directly for posts?
Not for sponsored posts. Brands pay you. Instagram's own tools, like subscriptions and gifts, pay separately.
