About YouTube Revenue (RPM) Calculator

Only a fraction of views carry ads, and the platform keeps a share of the revenue. Working through both filters shows why effective earnings per thousand total views are well below the headline rate quoted in dashboards.

Formula

Creator revenue

Gross = views × monetised share × RPM / 1000; creator share = gross × (1 - platform share)
