YouTube Money Calculator: Estimate Your Ad Revenue
Many creators wonder how much their videos actually earn. A YouTube Money Calculator estimates ad revenue based on your video view count and a metric called RPM (Revenue Per Mille, or revenue per 1,000 views). While exact earnings vary, this tool gives you a realistic ballpark figure.
How YouTube Earnings Work
YouTube pays creators through the Partner Program based on ad impressions. The two key metrics are:
RPM is your actual revenue after YouTube's 45% cut of ad revenue. CPM (cost per mille) is what advertisers pay before that split. Most channels see an RPM between $1 and $8, with finance and tech niches often on the higher end.
Example Calculation
A video with 100,000 views and an RPM of $3.00:
- 100,000 / 1,000 = 100 (thousands of views)
- 100 x $3.00 = $300 estimated earnings
FAQ
