Pinterest Pins Per Month Calculator
Fill in the boxes above.
The minutes are your own estimate, so the hours are only as good as that number. Tier volumes are from our pricing: Starter 100, Growth 200 and Pro 300 pins a month. This is not a Pinterest requirement. Nothing you type leaves your browser.
How to use this calculator
Count the products, blog posts, collections or offers you want people to find. Decide how many different pins each one gets in a month. Then estimate, honestly, how long one finished pin takes you from idea to scheduled: the graphic, the title, the description, the link and the board.
Why more than one pin per product
Pinterest is a search engine, and people search the same thing in different ways. A second pin for the same product with a different image and a different keyword phrase gives that product another way to be found. Our guide to building a Pinterest content calendar shows how to spread this across a month.
Volume is not the goal, consistency is
There is no magic monthly number that Pinterest rewards. A pace you can keep up for months beats a big push you abandon in week three. If the hours this calculator shows are more than you can keep giving, that is useful information, not a failure.
If the number is bigger than your time
You have three honest options: shrink the plan, batch the work into one or two sessions a month, or hand it off. Monthly Pinterest Management covers 100, 200 or 300 pins a month depending on the tier, including the keyword research, custom pin graphics, scheduling and a monthly performance summary. You can read how the two approaches compare in hiring a Pinterest manager versus doing it yourself.
Frequently asked questions
How many pins should I post per month?
There is no single number Pinterest requires. A better question is how many pins you can create well and keep up for months. Many small businesses plan a few different pins per product or page, then spread them across the month.
How many pins does each Pinterest management tier include?
Pinterest Starter includes 100 pins a month, Growth includes 200 and Pro includes 300.
Should I make several pins for the same product?
Yes, that is a common approach. Different images and different keyword phrases give one product more than one way to be found in search.
Does this calculator save my numbers?
No. Everything runs in your browser and nothing is sent or stored.
