Earnings FAQ
▸How much does YouTube pay per 1,000 views?
Most channels earn between $1.50 and $7 per 1,000 monetized views after YouTube's 45% share, but finance and business channels can exceed $20 RPM while music and gaming often sit below $2. Country mix matters enormously — US views pay roughly 6× more than views from India.
▸What is the difference between CPM and RPM?
CPM is what advertisers pay per 1,000 ad impressions. RPM is what the creator actually receives per 1,000 video views after the platform's revenue share and unmonetized views — RPM is usually 40–60% of CPM.
▸Which niche has the highest CPM?
Finance, business and technology consistently command the highest CPMs ($6–$22+), because advertisers in those verticals have high customer lifetime values. Entertainment, comedy and music sit at the bottom of the range.
▸Does this calculator work for TikTok and Instagram?
Yes — select the platform and the model adjusts for each platform's typical creator-fund and ad revenue-share rates. Note that for short-form platforms, brand deals usually dwarf ad revenue.
