Frequently asked questions
Your main estimate is monthly views divided by 1,000, multiplied by your RPM (revenue per 1,000 views), shown as a low–high band and annualized. A second figure cross-checks this from advertiser CPM, your monetized-view share, and YouTube's creator split.
CPM is what advertisers pay per 1,000 ad impressions, before YouTube takes its cut. RPM is what you actually receive per 1,000 views after the split and after accounting for views that show no ads. RPM is the more useful number for estimating take-home earnings.
Yes. The RPM band, monetized-view percentage, CPM, and the 55% creator share are sensible defaults you can edit. RPM and CPM swing widely by niche, season, and audience location, so plug in your own YouTube Studio figures for a closer estimate.
No. This is a rough planning estimate, not a promise of income. It covers ad revenue only and ignores memberships, Super Chat, sponsorships, and affiliate income. Real payouts depend on your specific audience and content.
