How TikTok pays creators
The Creator Rewards Program pays for qualified views: views on original videos longer than one minute, from the For You feed, that meet TikTok's watch-time and authenticity checks. Views from paid promotion or that TikTok flags as inauthentic do not count. The payout per 1,000 qualified views varies by country, audience and engagement, so use the rate in your own TikTok Studio.
