About 808,081 to 4,040,405 views a month (26,937 to 134,681 a day) at the rates above.
Formula: views × monetized rate ÷ 1,000 × CPM × 55%. All presets are rough third-party estimates, not YouTube data: niche CPM ranges as published by LiveReacting, country and Shorts RPM ranges as published by IncomeFromViews (2026). Real rates change with niche, season, video length and audience, so check the RPM in your own YouTube Studio. Exchange rates are approximate. This covers ad revenue only, not memberships, Super Thanks or sponsorships.
How to use
Pick the format and views
Choose Long-form videos or Shorts, then Total views or Views per day, and type the number. Set Currency, and edit the exchange rate if you want today's figure.
Set the rate range
For long videos, pick From CPM with a Niche preset and a monetized view rate, or From RPM with a country preset. For Shorts, pick a country preset. Every slider can be moved by hand.
Read the range and target
The panel shows earnings as X to Y, plus daily, monthly and yearly figures in daily mode. Type a monthly income under Views needed to see how many views it takes.
Why YouTube Earnings Calculator
- Shows YouTube earnings as a low to high estimate from views and a CPM or RPM range.
- Presets for 6 niches, 16 countries and Shorts, each clearly marked as an estimate.
- Results in USD, INR, PKR, GBP, EUR, CAD or AUD, with daily, monthly and yearly figures.
- Works backwards from an income target to the views you would need.
The formulas behind the estimate
From CPM uses: earnings = views x monetized rate / 1,000 x CPM x 55%. The last step is YouTube's revenue share for long-form ads; untick the checkbox to leave it out. From RPM is simpler: earnings = views / 1,000 x RPM, because RPM is already what the creator keeps. Each is worked out twice, with the low and high rate, which gives the range.
Here is a worked example with the default CPM settings: 100,000 views, a 45% monetized rate and a CPM of $1 to $5. The RPM on the last line is the figure YouTube Studio shows, which makes it the easiest number to check against your own analytics.
| Step | Low | High |
|---|---|---|
| Monetized views (100,000 x 45%) | 45,000 | 45,000 |
| Gross ad revenue (45,000 / 1,000 x CPM) | $45.00 | $225.00 |
| Creator share (x 55%) | $24.75 | $123.75 |
| RPM (earnings / 100,000 x 1,000) | $0.25 | $1.24 |
Preset ranges used by the calculator
These are the ranges the presets fill in. They are published third-party estimates in US dollars, not figures from YouTube, and your own channel can sit well outside them. Niche CPM ranges follow LiveReacting's YouTube money calculator; country and Shorts RPM ranges follow IncomeFromViews' 2026 table. Remember that CPM is before YouTube's share and RPM is after it, so the two columns are not directly comparable.
| Preset | Range (USD) | Type |
|---|---|---|
| Finance niche | $10 to $30 | CPM |
| Technology niche | $5 to $15 | CPM |
| Education niche | $5 to $12 | CPM |
| Gaming niche | $1 to $5 | CPM |
| United States audience | $8 to $20 | Long-form RPM |
| United Kingdom audience | $7 to $16 | Long-form RPM |
| India audience | $0.80 to $3 | Long-form RPM |
| Pakistan audience | $0.50 to $2 | Long-form RPM |
| United States, Shorts | $0.05 to $0.20 | Shorts RPM |
| India, Shorts | $0.02 to $0.08 | Shorts RPM |
Why real earnings differ from the estimate
The calculator is only as good as the rates you give it. These factors move real payouts, sometimes a lot, from one month to the next.
- Viewer location: advertisers pay more to reach some countries than others.
- Season: ad budgets usually rise toward the end of the year and dip in January.
- Video length: videos of 8 minutes or longer can carry mid-roll ads, which adds ad slots.
- Topic: videos marked with limited ads under YouTube's advertiser-friendly rules earn far less.
- Audience habits: ad blockers and YouTube Premium viewers change how many views show ads.
- Currency: payouts are converted to your local currency, and the rate in this tool is only approximate until you edit it.
- YouTube Premium: Premium members see no ads, but creators get a share of Premium revenue based on watch time.
