How the YouTube Money Calculator works
Enter the daily views of a channel, choose its niche and set how many views show ads. The calculator multiplies the monetized views by the niche’s typical RPM and shows the range of earnings per day, month and year:
Earnings = daily views × monetized share × RPM ÷ 1,000
What is RPM on YouTube?
RPM (revenue per mille) is what a creator earns per 1,000 views after YouTube’s share. It differs from CPM, which is what advertisers pay per 1,000 ad impressions. RPM depends most on the niche — finance and tech pay several times more than music or gaming — and on the audience’s country: views from the US, Canada, the UK and Australia earn the most.
Why the result is a range
Two channels with the same views can earn very differently. Earnings change with the season (ad prices peak before the holidays and drop in January), the length of videos (videos over 8 minutes can show more ads), the share of viewers with ad blockers or YouTube Premium, and Shorts, which pay far less per view. The calculator shows the usual range; real earnings are in YouTube Studio once a channel is monetized.
How to earn more on YouTube

- Make longer videos where it fits the content, so more ads can run.
- Pick topics advertisers pay for within your niche.
- Add income beyond ads: sponsors, memberships, affiliate links.
- Grow views and subscribers faster. PimpMyAcc offers YouTube views, subscribers and watch hours to help a channel reach the partner program.
Frequently asked questions
How much does YouTube pay per 1,000 views?
Most channels earn about $1–5 per 1,000 views; finance, business and tech channels can earn $8–20 or more. It depends on the niche and the audience’s country.
Is the result exact?
No, it is an estimate. Real earnings depend on the audience, season, video length and ads, and are shown in YouTube Studio.
What does “monetized views” mean?
Not every view shows an ad: some viewers use ad blockers or YouTube Premium, and some videos aren’t eligible. 40–70% is a common share.
Do Shorts pay the same?
No. Shorts earn from a shared pool and usually pay much less per 1,000 views than long videos.
When can a channel start earning?
After joining the YouTube Partner Program: 1,000 subscribers plus 4,000 watch hours in 12 months, or 10 million Shorts views in 90 days.
