Estimate your YouTube earnings based on views and RPM. Calculate monthly and yearly revenue with 2026 monetization benchmarks.
Curious how much money you can make on YouTube? Our Earnings Calculator uses your daily views and estimated RPM (Revenue Per Mille) to project your monthly and yearly income. In 2026, diversification is key, but AdSense remains the foundation of a creator's business.
CPM (Cost Per Mille) is what advertisers pay for 1,000 impressions. RPM (Revenue Per Mille) is what *you* take home after YouTube's 45% cut and accounting for non-monetized views. Our calculator focuses on RPM because that's the number that actually hits your bank account.
Not all views are created equal. A 'Finance' or 'Real Estate' view can be worth 10x more than a 'Comedy' or 'Gaming' view. We provide built-in benchmarks for the top 10 niches to help you estimate your earnings more accurately based on your specific content area.
Views from Tier 1 countries (USA, UK, Canada) pay significantly higher than global averages. Our tool allows you to adjust your RPM expectations based on where your audience is primarily located, giving you a realistic financial forecast.
While this tool calculates ad revenue, remember that AdSense usually only makes up 30-50% of a top creator's income. Use these numbers as a baseline to plan your sponsorships, affiliate marketing, and digital product launches.
Go from 'Views' to 'Dollars' in 3 simple steps.
Check your YouTube Studio for your average views over the last 30 days and enter them here.

On average, 1 million views yields between $2,000 and $5,000 for general entertainment, but can reach $20,000+ for high-RPM niches like Finance or Tech.
The platform-wide average RPM is approximately $2.00 to $4.00, though this varies wildly by niche and viewer location.
No. You only get paid when a viewer sees an ad. Many views are 'Non-Monetized' due to ad-blockers or if the viewer skips the ad too quickly.
To increase RPM, make longer videos (8min+ for mid-rolls), target a higher-paying audience (USA/UK), and focus on topics with high advertiser intent (e.g., product reviews).
No. Shorts use a different revenue-sharing model (the Shorts Fund/Ad Pool) which typically results in much lower RPMs, often around $0.05 to $0.15 per 1,000 views.
You must first reach 1,000 subscribers and 4,000 watch hours (or 10M Shorts views) to be eligible for monetization. Google pays out once you cross the $100 threshold.
Yes. Videos over 8 minutes allow for 'Mid-roll' ads, which can effectively double your RPM compared to shorter videos.
Yes. Google is required to withhold US taxes for most creators, and you are responsible for reporting your earnings as self-employment income in your local region.
Common causes include seasonal advertiser shifts (Jan is always lower), a change in viewer demographics, or if one of your videos was 'Yellow Demonetized'.
