How YouTube revenue estimates work
Use RPM for a fast take-home estimate. Switch to CPM only when you want to model advertiser spend and monetized playbacks.
RPM
Your take-home planning rate
Revenue per mille estimates what you receive per 1,000 total views. It is the simplest way to plan earnings or work backward from a goal.
CPM
Advertiser spend before deductions
CPM needs more context. The calculator applies the creator’s 55% share and assumes 60% of total views are monetized.
Ads are only one way to make money on YouTube. Learn how creators add sponsorships, affiliates, and products.
YouTube Revenue by Niche
Not all views are worth the same. Here's what advertisers typically pay (CPM) by niche:
- Gaming

- Vlogs & daily life
- Memes & comedy
- Kids content
- Health & fitness
- Education and how-to

Estimate, not a guarantee
Actual earnings depend on monetized views, audience location, watch time, season, ad formats, advertiser demand, YouTube Premium revenue, and other revenue sources.
