About the YouTube Money Calculator

RPM (revenue per mille) is what a creator earns per 1,000 views after YouTube's share, across all monetised and unmonetised views. It varies hugely with niche and audience country: finance and tech channels with US viewers can earn over $10, while entertainment channels may earn under $1. Use your own RPM from YouTube Studio for an accurate estimate. You need to be in the YouTube Partner Program to earn.

The formula

Earnings = views ÷ 1000 × RPM

Worked example

Example: Estimated monthly earnings = $660.00

Inputs: Monthly views: 110,000; RPM (your earnings per 1,000 views): 6 $; Shorts views: 0; Shorts RPM: 0.066 $.
Formula: Earnings = views ÷ 1000 × RPM
Result: Estimated monthly earnings = $660.00
