Time costs money. Although TikTok can also earn quite a bit. You need that many views monthly to vlog a minimum wage.

If we may give a tip for the future social media magnate: your bank account will be filled a lot faster via other platforms. On YouTube, for example, you need a lot less viewers to score a decent salary. But let’s express modest ambitions for now. How many TikTok views per month are enough for minimum wage?

Minimum wage thanks to TikTok

First, determine how much the minimum wage will be in the Netherlands in 2023. As of July 1, you must receive a monthly gross amount of at least 1,995 euros, without holiday allowance.

Furthermore, there are several ways to earn money with TikTok such as donations from subscribers and sponsored posts. But we want to be paid directly by the social media platform itself. You can if you qualify for the Creator Fund.

Once signed up, you share in the advertising revenue that TikTok receives. Only you only get a very small piece of the pie compared to YouTube. According to most sources, you earn between 2 and 4 cents per thousand views on TikTok.

On the low end, this means you need 99,750,000 or just under 100 million views in a month to earn as much as minimum wage. Do you get 4 cents per thousand views? Then 49,875,000 views on TikTok will be enough to get 1,995 euros in the bank account.
