About this tool

YouTube earnings depend on RPM (revenue per 1,000 views after YouTube's share), which varies wildly by niche and country: $0.5–3 for entertainment, $3–10+ for finance/business content. This calculator multiplies your views by an RPM you control and shows a realistic low–high band. Sponsorships and affiliate income are on top of this.

FAQ

What is RPM?
Revenue per mille — your actual earnings per 1,000 views after YouTube's 45% cut. Found in YouTube Studio > Analytics.
How much does YouTube pay per view?
Typically $0.001–$0.05 per view depending on niche/audience — that's why RPM matters more.
Do Shorts earn the same?
No — Shorts RPM is far lower (often $0.05–0.15). This calculator is for long-form videos.
