The estimate is simple: earnings = views ÷ 1,000 × RPM. RPM (revenue per mille) is your income per 1,000 views after YouTube takes its share, so it already accounts for views without ads.
For long-form videos in the YouTube Partner Program, creators receive 55% of the ad revenue. RPM varies a lot with your audience's country, the topic of your channel, video length, and the time of year, so treat any estimate as a rough range.
It depends on your RPM, which varies widely by topic, audience country and video type. Your own RPM in YouTube Studio is the most reliable number to use.
Yes. Ad revenue is only paid to channels accepted into the YouTube Partner Program.
No. This is an estimate based on the RPM you enter. Real earnings change with seasons, ad demand and how many viewers see ads.
