Benchmarks

Instagram rates by follower tier

What Instagram creators typically charge for one in-feed post, by audience size. Stories run around 40% of the post rate and Reels around 30% above it, because a Reel is pushed beyond the follower base and a Story disappears in a day. Every figure is this page's own model at a 2.5% engagement rate — the benchmark an average Instagram account sits on.

Rate drivers

What changes an Instagram rate

Follower count opens the negotiation. These are the Instagram-specific terms that decide where inside the range it closes.

Reels versus feed posts
A Reel reaches well beyond the follower count, so creators price it above a static post — commonly 20–40% more. It also costs them more to make: filming, cutting and picking a sound is an afternoon, where a carousel can be a phone and good light.
Story frames and link stickers
Stories are cheap individually and usually sold in sets of three to five frames, because one frame in isolation converts poorly. A link sticker is the part worth paying for — it is the only native placement on Instagram that sends traffic without the audience leaving through a bio.
Partnership Ads and whitelisting
Running the creative as a Partnership Ad from the creator's own handle keeps their name and social proof on the ad, and it consistently outperforms the same asset from a brand account. Creators charge separately for the authorisation, usually a flat monthly fee rather than a share of spend.
Grid permanence
Anything that stays on the grid is a semi-permanent endorsement, which is why a post costs more than a Story with identical reach. Ask whether the post stays up indefinitely or comes down after the campaign — a fixed take-down date should lower the price, and often does not unless you raise it.
Category exclusivity
Beauty and fashion creators post several brand collaborations a month, so a clause keeping them off competitors is expensive in a way it is not in quieter categories. Price it by how much of their calendar it blocks, not by the length of the window.
Engagement quality
Two Instagram accounts with 100K followers can differ several times over in what they are worth, because engagement rate scales the whole estimate. Saves and shares predict conversion better than likes, and neither shows on a public profile — this is where a proper analytics check earns its keep.

Instagram pricing — answered

A rough rule is $10–$15 per 1,000 followers for a feed post, adjusted up or down by engagement. That puts a 50,000-follower creator near $600–$800 and a 500,000-follower creator near $6,000–$8,000. Use the calculator above with the real handle rather than the rule — engagement moves the number more than the follower count does.
