Illustrative ad revenue only. Sponsorships, affiliates and memberships are excluded. Annual figures assume the same monthly views and assumptions for 12 months.

Same views, different preset assumptions

Compare scenarios at the same view count. These are modeled outputs, not predictions of what a channel will earn.

How this calculator works

Estimated monthly revenue equals long-form views divided by 1,000, multiplied by the selected niche RPM and geography factor, plus a separate Shorts scenario. The midpoint averages the preset low and high RPM values. Presets and country factors are illustrative assumptions, not sourced current benchmarks.

The model assumes the entered monthly views remain constant for the annual projection. It does not account for channel eligibility, advertiser demand, seasonality, invalid traffic or all revenue sources. Check your own YouTube Analytics to understand actual channel performance.
