How does the YouTube money calculator work?

It multiplies your monthly views by the RPM (revenue per 1000 views) for your niche to estimate monthly and yearly ad revenue.

RPM is revenue per 1000 views - the estimated ad earnings per 1000 views after YouTube's revenue share.

Is this an exact figure?

No. Real earnings depend on audience, ad rates, watch time, and monetization features. This is a rough estimate to help you plan.

How it works

Monthly earnings = monthly views / 1000 x RPM. RPM (revenue per 1000 views) varies by niche and audience. Estimates are for ad revenue only, before YouTube's cut and taxes.
