Frequently Asked Questions
What is RPM and how does it affect YouTube earnings?
RPM stands for Revenue Per Mille, which means revenue per 1,000 views. It represents how much money you earn for every 1,000 views on your videos. Your actual RPM depends on factors like content quality, audience demographics, niche, seasonal trends, and the number of ad-free views.
How is YouTube money calculated?
YouTube earnings are calculated by multiplying the number of views by the RPM and dividing by 1,000. For example: (10,000 views × $2.50 RPM) ÷ 1,000 = $25. The calculator uses a range because RPM varies based on multiple factors affecting your channel.
What factors affect my channel's RPM?
Key factors include: audience location (US/UK viewers generate higher RPM), content niche (finance and tech typically have higher RPM), video length (longer videos = more ads), seasonality (Q4 usually higher), audience demographics, ad-blocker usage, and click-through rates. Premium content attracts better-paying advertisers.
Is there a difference between CPM and RPM?
Yes. CPM (Cost Per Mille) is what advertisers pay. RPM is what you, the creator, receive after YouTube takes its 45% share. Your RPM is typically 55% of the CPM, as YouTube keeps approximately 45% of advertiser payments.
When do creators start earning money on YouTube?
You need to be part of the YouTube Partner Program (YPP). Requirements include: 1,000 subscribers and 4,000 watch hours in the past 12 months (or 10 million Shorts views in 90 days). Once approved, you can earn through ads, memberships, Super Chat, and other features.
How often does YouTube pay creators?
YouTube pays creators monthly between the 21st-26th if you've earned at least $100 in AdSense revenue that month. Payments go to your AdSense account. You need a valid tax form (W-9 for US creators) to receive payments.
Pro Tips
- • Create content for high-value niches like finance, technology, or business to maximize RPM.
- • Focus on audience retention and watch time - longer videos allow more ads, increasing total earnings.
- • US and UK audiences generate higher RPM. Consider your audience location when planning content.
- • Q4 (October-December) typically has higher CPM/RPM due to increased holiday advertising budgets.
- • Avoid ad-friendly violations to prevent demonetization. Always follow YouTube's community guidelines.
- • Diversify income streams with channel memberships, Super Chat, and affiliate marketing - don't rely solely on ads.
