Turn views into revenue estimates. Calculate YouTube earnings from RPM, CPM, and watch time with up-to-date benchmarks for long-form, Shorts, and Premium revenue.
Creators earn through CPM (what advertisers pay per 1,000 ad impressions) after YouTube takes 45% — so your RPM (revenue per 1,000 views) is usually 45–55% of CPM. Niche, audience geography, and seasonality all swing the number by 3–5×. A finance channel in Q4 can earn $25 RPM; a gaming channel in Q1 may earn $2. These calculators help you triangulate realistic estimates before betting time on a channel.
