About
Enter how many views a channel gets per day and the RPM range you expect, and this YouTube earnings calculator shows what that comes to per day, per 30-day month and per 365-day year. It is arithmetic on your inputs, run in the browser, and it knows nothing about any real channel's income. A second panel divides a video's views by the channel's subscribers to give a percentage.
How to use
Type the average daily views. Adjust the low and high RPM in US dollars; they start at 1 and 4 as placeholders, so replace them with your own figures if you have them. The three rows update as you type. For the ratio, enter a video's view count and the channel's subscriber count in the lower panel.
RPM, and where to find yours
RPM is revenue per mille: what the creator actually receives for every 1,000 views, after YouTube's share and counting views that showed no ad. That makes it the right number for this sum. Creators in the YouTube Partner Program can see it in the Revenue tab of YouTube Analytics. Put your own RPM in the two fields and the estimate becomes a projection of your channel rather than a guess.
RPM is not CPM
CPM is what advertisers pay per 1,000 ad impressions, before YouTube takes its share, and it only counts views where an ad ran. For the same channel it is always higher than RPM. Calculators that multiply views by CPM overstate income for that reason. This one asks for RPM so the output sits closer to what lands in the account.
Working through the defaults
With the starting values of 10,000 daily views and an RPM of 1 to 4 dollars, the page shows $10 to $40 a day, $300 to $1,200 for a 30-day month, and $3,650 to $14,600 for a year. Change any one input and every row moves in proportion, which shows what doubling views or a better RPM would be worth. The starting values are placeholders, not a market rate.
Views to subscribers ratio
The second panel divides a video's views by the channel's subscriber count and shows the result as a percentage with one decimal. A video at 50,000 views on a channel with 200,000 subscribers scores 25.0%. Anything above 100% means the video travelled well beyond the people subscribed. Comparing the ratio across a channel's recent uploads says more than any single figure.
FAQ
How much does YouTube pay per 1,000 views?
It depends on the channel, so there is no single figure. Your own RPM in the Revenue tab of YouTube Analytics is that number; enter it here to project earnings.
How is YouTube income calculated from views?
Daily views divided by 1,000, multiplied by RPM, gives earnings per day. Multiply by 30 for a month and by 365 for a year, which is what this calculator does for both ends of the RPM range.
How do I calculate a views to subscribers ratio?
Divide the video's views by the channel's subscribers and multiply by 100. Enter both numbers in the second panel to see the percentage.
Is the estimate what a channel actually earns?
No. It is a projection from the views and RPM you type. Real payouts move with advertiser demand, where the audience lives and how many views carried an ad.
