Estimate a rough YouTube ad revenue range from monthly views and an RPM (revenue per 1,000 views) assumption. An estimate only - actual earnings vary widely.
This is a rough estimate based on the numbers you enter, not a prediction from real YouTube data. Actual RPM varies enormously by niche, audience location, season, and ad market conditions - treat this as a ballpark, not a guarantee.

Pro Tips
- •RPM (revenue per mille) is what a creator actually receives per 1,000 views after YouTube's cut, and typically ranges from about $1-10+ depending heavily on niche and audience
- •Finance, business, and tech content tends toward the higher end of RPM ranges, while gaming and entertainment often sit lower - adjust the range to match your own niche
- •This only estimates ad revenue - it doesn't include sponsorships, memberships, Super Chats, merchandise, or affiliate income, which for many creators exceed ad revenue
- •Actual RPM fluctuates seasonally too - many niches see higher rates in Q4 due to increased advertiser competition

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this exactly what I'd actually earn?
No, it's a rough estimate based entirely on the numbers you provide - real ad revenue depends on factors like audience location, ad blocker usage, seasonality, and advertiser demand that vary constantly and aren't reflected here.
What is RPM?
RPM (revenue per mille, or per 1,000 views) is the amount a creator actually receives per 1,000 views after YouTube takes its share - it's different from CPM, which is what advertisers pay before YouTube's cut.
Why does RPM vary so much by niche?
Advertisers pay more to reach audiences they consider higher value for their products - finance and business audiences, for example, often command higher ad rates than younger entertainment-focused audiences.
Does this account for sponsorships or merch sales?
No, this estimates ad revenue only. Many creators earn significantly more from sponsorships, channel memberships, merchandise, and affiliate income than from ads alone.
Is my data sent to a server?
No. The estimate is calculated entirely in your browser.
