Frequently asked questions
- What is RPM on YouTube?
- RPM (Revenue Per Mille) is the amount a creator earns per 1,000 views after YouTube takes its 45% share. It varies by niche, viewer geography, time of year, and engagement rate.
- Why are YouTube earnings so different by niche?
- Advertisers pay more to reach audiences likely to buy their products. Finance and tech audiences command $10–45 RPM because advertisers pay premiums for these viewers. Entertainment or gaming audiences earn $1.5–8 RPM.
- What are monetised views?
- Not every view shows an ad — viewers skip ads, use adblockers, or watch from regions with low ad demand. Typically 40–60% of views are monetised. Adjust this percentage in the calculator.
- Are these earnings accurate?
- The calculator provides estimates based on typical RPM ranges. Actual earnings depend on your specific audience demographics, watch time, ad formats enabled, and seasonal ad spend variations.
- Does YouTube take a cut?
- Yes. YouTube keeps 45% of ad revenue and pays creators 55%. The RPM values in this calculator already reflect the creator's share (post-YouTube cut).
