FAQs
How Accurate Is This YouTube Revenue Estimate?
This calculator provides an estimate based on your inputs and average industry data. Actual earnings may vary depending on ad performance, engagement, watch time, and changes in YouTube's monetization policies.
What's the Difference Between CPM and RPM? Icon
CPM (cost per mille) is what advertisers pay per 1,000 views. RPM (revenue per mille) is what you actually earn per 1,000 views after YouTube takes its share. RPM is a better reflection of your real income.
What Happens if I Leave CPM or RPM Blank?
If you leave either blank, the calculator automatically estimates it using your selected niche, country, and content type. You can enter your own CPM or RPM if you have actual data.
Why Does Content Type Affect My Earnings?
YouTube monetizes content types differently. Shorts generally earn less per view than long-form videos due to their pooled ad revenue model. The calculator adjusts RPM accordingly to reflect this.
Why Is My RPM Lower Than I Expected?
RPM can be lower due to short watch times, low viewer engagement, less valuable niches, or countries with lower advertiser demand. The calculator helps identify and explain these differences.
Can I Trust the CPM Values Based on Niche and Country?
Yes, we use well-researched industry averages for CPM by niche and country. These are reliable for general estimation, but actual CPMs can vary slightly based on your content and audience behavior.
Why Do Shorts Make Less Money Than Long-Form Videos?
YouTube Shorts use a shared revenue pool instead of direct ad placements, resulting in a lower RPM. Long-form videos typically attract higher CPMs and give creators a bigger share of ad revenue.
What if My Views Vary Daily? Will This Calculator Still Work?
Yes, just enter your average monthly views. The calculator uses that number to estimate your daily, monthly, and yearly revenue, even if daily views fluctuate.
Can I Use This for Multiple Channels or Just One?
You can use it for as many channels as you like. Just enter the views, niche, and content type separately for each. It's best to calculate one channel at a time for accuracy.
How Can I Improve My Earnings According to This Calculator?
Try focusing on long-form content, choosing higher-paying niches, increasing audience engagement, and targeting countries with higher CPMs. The calculator also provides optimization tips based on your selections.
