Frequently Asked Questions

What is RPM on YouTube?

RPM (revenue per mille) is what a creator earns per 1,000 views after YouTube takes its share. It is lower than CPM, which is what advertisers pay per 1,000 ad impressions.

Why does niche change earnings so much?

Advertisers pay more to reach viewers who are about to spend money, such as people researching finance, software, or business tools. Entertainment and music audiences are cheaper to reach.

How much do YouTube Shorts pay?

Shorts revenue comes from a shared pool and usually works out to a few cents per 1,000 views, far less than long-form videos.

How many views do I need to earn $100?

At a $4 RPM you need about 25,000 monetized views. At a $1 RPM it takes about 100,000. Use the calculator with your niche to see your own range.

How do I estimate a channel's earnings?

Paste the channel link or its @handle. The calculator loads the channel's lifetime views and works out its average views per day since it started, so you can see both total and daily estimates. Recent months can be much higher or lower than the average.
