RPM calculator FAQ
- How is YouTube ad revenue calculated?
- Roughly, monthly ad revenue ≈ (views ÷ 1,000) × RPM, where RPM is revenue per thousand views after YouTube's share. RPM depends heavily on niche and audience geography, so this calculator uses per-niche ranges.
- What is a good RPM?
- It varies by niche: finance and business often see $12–$30, tech and history mid-single to low-double digits, and motivation or facts $3–$8. Higher-RPM niches earn more per view but tend to be more competitive.
- Does this include sponsorships and affiliates?
- No — this estimates ad revenue only. Many faceless channels earn as much or more from affiliates, sponsorships, memberships and their own products on top of ads.
