X tells us what counts. It does not publish the rate. We fit a simple guess to public payout screenshots.
X pays for Premium Home views
A paid view is a Premium user seeing your original post on Home — not bots, not logged-out people, not profile or search, and usually not replies.
Public view counts are much bigger
The number on a post includes almost everyone. Only about 9% typically counts as paid (range 5–16%). If you have Analytics, use “Verified Home Timeline impressions” instead.
We turn paid views into dollars
About $0.94 per 1,000 paid views ($940 per million), then we nudge for country, content type, Premium+ mix, and how original the posts are. Public reports sit near $0.957 / 1k.
This is a toy, not tax or financial advice, and not affiliated with X. Two people with the same public views can be paid very differently.
