How much could your channel earn from its views?
Enter your daily views and an RPM range to estimate what you'd earn per day, month and year, and how many views a month you need to reach an income goal.
The starting RPM range is only an example. Your real RPM is in YouTube Studio under Analytics > Revenue; it varies a lot by topic, audience country, video length and Shorts versus long videos.
| Low RPM | High RPM | |
|---|---|---|
| Per day | - | - |
| Per month (30 days) | - | - |
| Per year | - | - |
| Views a month for your goal | - | - |
How it's calculated
- Earnings = views ÷ 1,000 × RPM. 5,000 views a day at a $3 RPM is $15 a day, about $450 a month.
- RPM is what you earn per 1,000 views after YouTube's share, across ads, YouTube Premium, memberships and Supers, and it counts views without ads too.
- Views needed = goal ÷ RPM × 1,000.
- You only earn ad revenue inside the YouTube Partner Program.
YouTube earnings are roughly views ÷ 1,000 × RPM. RPM (revenue per mille) is what a creator earns per 1,000 views after YouTube's share, counting ads, YouTube Premium, memberships and Supers, and it includes views that showed no ads. For example, 5,000 views a day at a $3 RPM is about $15 a day or $450 a month. RPM varies widely by topic, audience country and format, so use your own figure from YouTube Studio > Analytics > Revenue. You only earn ad revenue inside the YouTube Partner Program.
