YouTube Earnings Calculator
Estimate what a given level of views would pay in ad revenue. It returns a range, never a single number — because RPM swings with your niche, your audience's country, and the season. It's the "so what would I make" answer the RPM-by-niche page points to, with no earnings promise.
estimate — RPM is not published by YouTube
Estimate only — ad revenue at these RPMs, not a forecast of what you'll earn.
How it works: monthly ad revenue = (views ÷ 1,000) × RPM. RPM is your take-home per 1,000 views after YouTube's ~45% cut; it swings with your audience's country, the season, and video length, which is why this is a range. The niche RPMs are third-party estimates, not figures YouTube publishes, and this counts ad revenue only — not sponsorships, affiliates, or memberships.
The niche RPM ranges bracket the estimates on the RPM-by-niche page — creator take-home per 1,000 views, after YouTube's ~45% cut. They're orientation, not a forecast: your real RPM depends on your exact topic, audience country, video length, and ad formats. Once you're monetized, switch to "enter my own RPM" and read the true figure from your YouTube Analytics.
