Formula
Subtract monthly cost (creator hours valued at hourly rate, plus any VK ad spend) from monthly revenue (reach divided by 1000 multiplied by platform RPM in rubles). Divide by cost and multiply by 100 to get ROI as a percentage. The platform with the higher ROI returns more money per ruble of effort and ad budget.
Preguntas Frecuentes
Is VK or Telegram better for monetization in Russia in 2026?
It depends on niche and audience size. Telegram wins for under 50,000 subscribers because reach is 60-90% vs VK Smart Feed at 10-25%. VK wins above 200,000 followers when niche RPM (finance, crypto, B2B) is strong. The calculator above gives a specific RUB answer for your numbers.
What is a typical VK Donut earning in 2026?
A VK community with 50,000 followers and 5% of followers as VK Donut subscribers paying 199 RUB per month earns about 500,000 RUB monthly before VK takes its commission (typically 20-30%). Net is around 350,000-400,000 RUB. Treat this as part of total VK RPM in the calculator above.
How much do Telegram Stars pay creators in 2026?
Telegram Stars pay roughly 70% of the gross to creators after Apple, Google, and Telegram cuts. A channel that converts 0.5% of subscribers into Stars-paying users at 100 RUB per month equivalent earns 0.5% x subscribers x 70 RUB monthly net. For 10,000 subs: 50 paying users x 70 RUB = 3,500 RUB net per month from Stars alone.
Does the calculator include VK Ads cost or only organic posting?
Both. The VK Ad Spend input is monthly RUB you pay to promote posts or grow the community. Set it to zero for pure organic ROI. For a community running 10,000 RUB monthly ads, that adds directly to the cost side of VK ROI.
Why does Telegram have no ad spend input?
Telegram does not offer a self-serve ad platform for organic creators in Russia in 2026. The Telegram Ads platform sells slots in other channels but not boosts on your own. If you buy promo posts on third-party channels to grow yours, model that spend as VK Ad Spend equivalent on whichever platform you are actually growing.
How accurate is a 70% Telegram reach default?
TGStat reports show median Telegram channel reach is 60-80% of subscribers within 24 hours, declining to 50-60% over a week. The 70% default is a 24-hour proxy. For business and news channels with active subscribers, 80-90% is realistic. For dormant or buy-followers-driven channels, 30-50% is closer to truth.
Should I include time spent on Stories or VK Clips separately?
No. The model uses total monthly content hours regardless of format. If you produce 20 posts and 30 Stories per month and total time is 25 hours, set Hours Per Post times Posts Per Month to equal 25. The ROI compares total time invested against total revenue across all formats on each platform.
