Assumptions, in one line: 10,000 followers prices inside the model's 10k to 25k band, on Instagram, at the baseline niche (Lifestyle, 1.0x) with about-average engagement, before usage, exclusivity, and any package discount. Your number is the middle of the model's range; the floor is it x 0.85 and the strong ask is it x 1.25.
| Usage term | Adds | On this Reel |
|---|---|---|
| 30 days | +25% | +$95 |
| 90 days | +65% | +$250 |
| 180 days | +110% | +$425 |
| 12 months | +175% | +$650 |
| Forever | +300% | +$1,125 |
What moves the number
- Engagement. Above average engagement multiplies the content lines by 1.2x, way above by 1.4x, below average by 0.85x. A small account whose audience actually acts can out-price a bigger quiet one.
- Niche. Finance and tech price at 1.5x the baseline, beauty and fashion at 1.2x. The niche rate pages apply each adjustment.
- Usage and exclusivity. Both are percentages added on top, priced in the tables above. Neither belongs inside the posting fee.
- Whitelisting. If the brand wants to run the post from its own handle, the usage line multiplies by 1.25x.
