YouTube Revenue Calculator
Estimate monthly ad earnings from views, niche and audience — as a range with the math shown, never a fake-exact number.
Estimated monthly ad earnings
$66 – $264
Estimated yearly ad earnings
$792 – $3.2K
The math: views ÷ 1,000 × monetized share × 55% creator split × niche CPM range × audience multiplier. A channelpeeker estimate using our published CPM table (see the methodology page) — ads only, excluding memberships, sponsorships and Supers. Never an exact number, because nobody outside your YouTube Studio can know one.

Understand your results
What the results mean
Earnings = views ÷ 1,000 × monetized-view share × the 55% creator split × your niche's CPM range × an audience-country multiplier. The CPM table and multipliers are published on our methodology page and reviewed quarterly — they are channelpeeker estimates of industry-typical ranges, not YouTube data.
Why a range? Because real CPMs swing with seasonality, advertiser demand and video topic — anyone showing you one exact dollar figure is guessing with confidence. The range brackets reality; your YouTube Studio shows the truth.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How much does YouTube pay per 1,000 views?
It varies enormously by niche and audience: from under $0.50 to over $20 RPM. Finance and business content earns the most per view; music and entertainment the least.
Why do you show a range instead of one number?
Because one number would be fiction. CPMs change by month, topic and advertiser demand. Our range uses a published CPM table so you can see and challenge every assumption.
Does this include Shorts, memberships or sponsorships?
No — this is long-form ad revenue only. Shorts have their own calculator here, and sponsorships our rate calculator. Memberships and Supers are extra on top.
Where do your CPM numbers come from?
Industry-typical ranges we maintain and review quarterly, published in full on the methodology page. They're estimates — we label them as such.
How much does YouTube pay per 1,000 views?
After the 55% split and non-monetized views, typical creator earnings run from under $0.50 to over $13 per 1,000 views depending on niche and audience country. Set the calculator to your niche for your range.
How much is 1 million YouTube views worth?
Anywhere from roughly $400 (entertainment, non-US audience) to $13,000+ (finance, US audience) in ad revenue. That 30× spread is why one-number answers are meaningless — use the range for your niche.
Is this tool free?
Yes — free, client-side, no account.
