Worked Example

Say your tech channel averages 120,000 monthly views at a $12 RPM. Set Monthly Views to 120000, RPM to $12, and leave Videos Per Year at 12. The tool shows $1,440 in estimated monthly revenue, $17,280 yearly, and $1,440 per video. Drop RPM to $4 to model an entertainment channel with identical views ($480/month) — a fast sanity check on why two channels with the same audience can earn very differently.

Frequently Asked Questions

• How is revenue estimated?▾
  We multiply your monthly views by your RPM (revenue per 1,000 views). RPM already accounts for the 45% YouTube share, so the estimate reflects your cut.
• What is a good RPM?▾
  RPM varies by niche — finance and tech channels often see $10–$30, while gaming and entertainment can be $1–$5. Use your own Analytics figure for accuracy.
• Where do I find my real RPM?▾
  In YouTube Studio, open Analytics, go to the Revenue tab, and read RPM for the period you want. Copying that figure instead of a guess makes the estimate much closer to what you actually earn.
• Is the estimate before or after tax?▾
  The estimate reflects gross ad revenue to your channel before income tax. Your take-home amount depends on your country's tax rules and any additional revenue like memberships or sponsorships.
