💰 RPM (Revenue per 1,000 Monetized Views)

Pick a niche preset or type your own RPM from YouTube Analytics.

📊 Monetized Views: 60%

Not every view shows an ad. 40% to 80% is typical, 60% is a solid default.

RPM vs CPM, quick primer

CPM is what advertisers pay per 1,000 ad impressions, before YouTube takes its 45% cut. RPM is what you actually earn per 1,000 total views, after the revenue split and including all revenue sources. RPM is the number that matters for your payout, and it is the one this calculator uses.

About the Free YouTube Revenue Calculator

Wondering what a channel actually earns from AdSense? This free YouTube money calculator turns daily views into daily, monthly, and yearly earnings estimates, driven by the two numbers that matter: your RPM and the share of views that get monetized.

RPM (revenue per mille) is what YouTube pays per 1,000 views after taking its share, and it varies wildly by niche: a finance channel can earn $12 per 1,000 monetized views while a music channel sees $1.50. Our YouTube revenue calculator ships with niche presets for finance, tech, education, gaming, entertainment, and music, plus a custom RPM field.

It also accounts for monetized-view rate, the detail most YouTube earnings calculators ignore. Ad blockers and unfilled inventory mean typically only 40% to 80% of views generate revenue. Every figure updates live, no signup required.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this tool free?

Yes, completely free with no signup, no limits, and no hidden fees.

Is my data secure?

Yes. All calculations run entirely in your browser; nothing is sent to any server.

What is the difference between RPM and CPM?

CPM is the advertiser-side price per 1,000 ad impressions before YouTube's 45% cut. RPM is your creator-side revenue per 1,000 views after the split, the number that reflects your actual payout.

Why do the presets differ so much between niches?

Advertisers bid on purchase intent. Finance and tech audiences convert into high-value customers, so ads cost more; entertainment and music reach broad, lower-intent audiences.

How accurate are the estimates?

As accurate as your inputs. With your real RPM and monetized-view rate, the result will be close to your AdSense revenue. Seasonality still applies: Q4 pays noticeably more than Q1.

Does this include memberships, Super Chat, or sponsorships?

No, it models ad revenue only. Memberships, Super Chat, merch, and brand deals come on top of these figures.

Tips & Best Practices

Use your real RPM: Open YouTube Studio, go to Analytics, then Revenue, and copy the RPM figure into the custom field.
Model seasonality: Run a higher RPM for Q4 and a lower one for January and February, since advertiser budgets swing through the year.
Watch audience geography: Views from the US, UK, and Australia pay far more than low-CPM regions, shifting your effective RPM.
Enable all ad formats: Mid-roll ads on videos over 8 minutes can significantly raise your monetized-view rate and RPM.
Diversify income: If your niche RPM is low, memberships, affiliate links, and sponsorships often out-earn AdSense.
