YouTube earnings calculator

Roughly what your views earn from YouTube ads, per day, month and year. Use Vid0's ranges, or your own RPM from YouTube Studio.

Per day
$10.00–$50.00
Per month
$300–$1,500
Per year
$3,650–$18,250

Vid0 estimate in US dollars, not YouTube data. Real earnings depend on your niche, where your viewers live and how much of each video is monetised.

How it works

Earnings = views ÷ 1,000 × RPM. RPM is what you keep per 1,000 views after YouTube's share, counting views that showed no ad. Without your own RPM, the calculator uses Vid0's rough ranges: $1–$5 per 1,000 long-form views and $0.03–$0.08 per 1,000 Shorts views.

Those ranges are wide on purpose. Finance and tech audiences in the US earn far more per view than gaming or music audiences in countries where ads cost less. Your real RPM is in YouTube Studio, under Analytics and then Revenue.

Questions

How much does YouTube pay per 1,000 views?
It depends on your RPM: what you keep per 1,000 views after YouTube's share. Vid0 uses a rough $1–5 for long-form and $0.03–0.08 for Shorts. Niche and audience country move it a lot, so use your own RPM from YouTube Studio when you have it.
What's the difference between RPM and CPM?
CPM is what advertisers pay per 1,000 ad impressions, before YouTube's share. RPM is what you earn per 1,000 views, after YouTube's share and counting views that showed no ad. RPM is the one to use for your earnings.
Where do I find my RPM?
In YouTube Studio, open Analytics, then the Revenue tab. It's only there once your channel is in the YouTube Partner Program.
Why do Shorts earn so much less per view?
Shorts ads run between videos in the feed, and creators share a pool of that revenue based on their share of views. That works out to far less per view than ads on a long-form video.
Can I check another channel's earnings?
Roughly. The free Vid0 extension shows a 30-day earnings range under any YouTube channel's header, from its recent views. It's an estimate, not YouTube data. Get the extension.
