Estimate how much your YouTube channel earns based on daily views, CPM, and monetized view rate. See daily, monthly, and yearly revenue projections in seconds.
YouTube creators earn money through the YouTube Partner Program (YPP). Revenue is based on CPM (Cost Per 1,000 impressions) applied to monetized views. Not all views generate revenue — viewers using ad blockers, skipping ads instantly, or watching from low-demand regions reduce effective earnings.
Formula: Daily Earnings = (Daily Views × Monetized % / 1,000) × CPM × 0.55
YouTube keeps 45% of ad revenue. Creators receive 55%.
YouTube pays creators between $1 and $10 per 1,000 monetized views on average. Finance and business channels earn $15–$30, while entertainment and gaming typically earn $1–$4 per 1,000 views. Actual earnings depend on niche, audience location, ad formats, and engagement rate.
YouTube CPM (Cost Per Mille) is the amount advertisers pay per 1,000 ad impressions. Creators receive 55% of this — a $5 CPM means the creator earns $2.75 per 1,000 impressions. Your effective CPM (RPM) is lower because not all views are monetized.
To join the YouTube Partner Program you need at least 1,000 subscribers and either 4,000 valid public watch hours in the past 12 months, or 10 million Shorts views in the past 90 days.
