YouTube Money Calculator

The calculator estimates ad revenue using the formula earnings = (monthly views ÷ 1,000) × RPM. RPM (revenue per 1,000 views) is what you actually keep after YouTube's 45% cut. Pick your niche to load a typical RPM, adjust it to match your own analytics, and optionally add estimated sponsorship income to see your total monthly and yearly earnings.

RPM varies widely by niche and audience location. Finance, tech, and B2B channels often see $8-$15 RPM, while gaming and motivation channels typically land between $2 and $5. A channel with mostly US, UK, Canadian, or Australian viewers earns a higher RPM than one with traffic from lower-CPM regions.

AdSense is only part of YouTube income. This tool lets you add an estimated monthly sponsorship and affiliate figure on top of ad revenue, since many creators earn more from brand deals and affiliate links than from AdSense alone — especially in high-value niches.

To earn ad revenue you first need to join the YouTube Partner Program: 1,000 subscribers plus 4,000 public watch hours in 12 months, or 10 million Shorts views in 90 days. After that, even 50,000-100,000 monthly views can produce meaningful income in a high-RPM niche.

They are directional estimates, not guarantees. Real earnings depend on audience location, watch time, ad inventory, seasonality, and the share of monetized views. Use your own RPM from YouTube Studio for the most accurate result, and treat the niche defaults as starting points.
