How does the YouTube Earnings Calculator work?

Our calculator uses the standard RPM (Revenue Per Mille or Revenue Per 1000 views) formula to estimate how much money a YouTube channel can make. However, unlike basic calculators, we also factor in your niche and audience geography.

Why does Niche matter?

Advertisers pay different rates depending on the topic. Finance and business channels attract high-paying advertisers (like banks and software companies), resulting in an RPM of $10 to $20. Gaming channels, however, appeal to a younger demographic, meaning advertisers pay less, resulting in an RPM of $1 to $3.

AdSense isn't the only income stream

Most full-time creators make less than half their income from YouTube AdSense. That's why we added estimations for Sponsorships (usually calculated at a $15-$25 CPM) and Merch/Affiliate sales based on conservative conversion rates.
