Estimate how much a YouTube channel earns from views, CPM, and content niche. All arithmetic runs instantly as you type — nothing is sent anywhere.
Enter your monthly views and CPM to estimate daily, monthly, and yearly revenue. Pick a niche to auto-fill a typical CPM for that category.
Enter your monthly view count and select your content niche — the calculator fills in a typical CPM for that category, which you can fine-tune with the slider. It then applies a standard ad impression rate (the percentage of views that are monetized) and YouTube's revenue share to estimate your daily, monthly, and yearly take-home.
All calculations happen locally in your browser — there's no upload, no account, and no server at any point. Results update live as you type.
Actual YouTube ad revenue (RPM) varies enormously by niche, audience country, season, and even individual video topic — finance and tech content in the US typically earns several times more per thousand views than entertainment content aimed at a global audience. This calculator uses a rate you supply to project potential earnings; it can't know your channel's actual RPM, which only shows up in your real YouTube Studio analytics once you're monetized.
For established creators, ad revenue often makes up a smaller share of total income than sponsorships, affiliate links, channel memberships, or merchandise — treat this calculator as a starting-point estimate for the ad-revenue slice specifically, not total channel earnings.
It varies enormously by niche, audience country, and ad format — commonly anywhere from $0.25 to $10+ per 1,000 views (RPM). This calculator lets you plug in your own CPM and view count to estimate earnings for your specific situation.
It's a planning estimate based on the CPM and view figures you provide — actual AdSense payouts depend on factors like ad blockers, seasonality, and YouTube's revenue share, so treat this as a ballpark, not a guarantee.
A broad starting range for many channels is $1–$5 per 1,000 views, but this varies hugely by niche — finance, business, and tech content often earns well above this range, while some entertainment or kids' content earns below it.
Typically creators receive roughly 55% of ad revenue after YouTube's cut — confirm the current split against YouTube's official Partner Program terms, since this figure can be revised.
