Ad revenue: RPM = (Views/1000) x RPM; or CPM = (Views x Monetised rate / 1000) x CPM. Total = Ad + Sponsorship + Affiliate. Estimates only.

What this metric means

Estimated YouTube revenue combines ad revenue (from views and RPM/CPM) with optional sponsorship and affiliate income. It gives a single number for planning and comparison, not a guarantee.

How to calculate it

Ad revenue: use RPM on total views, or CPM on monetised views (views x monetised playback rate). Add any fixed monthly sponsorship and affiliate. Multiply monthly by 12 for annual.

How to improve the metric

Grow watch time and retention; improve monetisation (format, placement); diversify with memberships, Super Chat or other products; add sponsorship and affiliate where it fits your audience.

Common mistakes

Using RPM for one country or device for all traffic; ignoring that not all views are monetised; or treating sponsorship as stable month to month when it's variable.

How to interpret your result

Use monthly and annual figures for budgeting. Compare ad vs non-ad share. Run different RPM and sponsorship scenarios to see sensitivity. Actuals will vary with performance and policy.

FAQs

How is ad revenue calculated?▾
With RPM: Ad revenue = (Monthly views / 1000) x RPM. With CPM: Monetised views = Views x Monetised playback rate; Ad revenue = (Monetised views / 1000) x CPM.
What is monetised playback rate?▾
The share of views that show ads (e.g. skippable, non-skippable). Not all views are monetised; use your YouTube Analytics figure or a typical 60-80% for estimates.
Should I add sponsorship and affiliate?▾
Optional. Enter fixed monthly amounts if you have them. Total revenue = Ad revenue + Sponsorship + Affiliate. Leave at 0 for ad-only estimates.
What RPM range is realistic?▾
RPM varies by niche, geography and format. $1–10+ per 1000 views is a wide range; check your own Analytics or use a mid-range (e.g. $3–5) for planning.
Why does my actual revenue differ?▾
RPM and monetisation depend on audience, content type, watch time and policy (e.g. limited or no ads on some videos). This tool is for estimation only.
