Facebook RPM in Mexico: what Spanish-language views pay, from our own measurements
Updated 24.09.2026 · Kostas Obuchow
Spanish-language content lands in Mexico and Latin America by default, and in our own network Spanish pages returned $0.06 per thousand views — against $0.10–0.20 for a US audience and $0.96 on the most expensive language we run. What sets the Mexican rate and how to lift it.
Short answer
Mexico sits in the bottom tier of Facebook’s auction, with the rest of Latin America. What we can put a number on is the language that lands there.
In our own network, June 2026: Spanish-language pages returned $0.06 per thousand views. For comparison, in the same month and the same network, Norwegian returned $0.96 and Portuguese $0.02. A US audience, by public measurements, pays $0.10–0.20 per thousand on Reels.
Spanish also gave us more views than any other language — 11.3 million in that month — while earning less than Romanian. Volume and rate are different currencies.

Two caveats we always attach to our own numbers: this is one month, and Spanish includes Spain, Mexico and the rest of Latin America in one row. A page tied to Spain sits higher than one tied to Mexico.
Why Spanish lands in Latin America
The algorithm shows a video to whoever understands it, and there are far more Spanish speakers in Latin America than in Spain. So unless the content is tied to Spain or to a US Hispanic audience, Spanish-language content settles in the cheap part of the map by default.
That is also the one real lever: a Spanish-speaking audience inside the US sits in the top tier, with less competition for attention than English. Tying the subject to US prices, jobs, documents or events moves the audience, and the rate moves with it.
What lifts the rate
The country of the viewers, decided mostly by the topic. Nothing else moves the number as much.
The format. Photos and text posts are paid alongside reels and cost minutes; into September the photo rate for English-language operators ran around $0.30 per thousand. On a cheap audience, cheap formats are what keeps the economics alive. See what to post on a Facebook page.
Production cost. In the bottom tier an expensive video does not pay back at any view count.
How to read your own figure
Earnings Rate in the Professional dashboard is money per 1,000 qualified views. Read it by country and by format, month over month. A single Spanish-language page often mixes Mexico, Argentina, Colombia, Spain and the US in one blended number that describes none of them.

WHICH CASE IS YOURS
Spanish brings you the most views and the least money — that is exactly what our own table shows.
You want Spain rather than Mexico — tie the subject to Spain; language alone will not do it.
A US Hispanic audience — top tier, with less competition than English; worth aiming at deliberately.
You are paying for expensive video — in this tier it does not pay back; use cheap formats.
