How YouTube Revenue is Calculated

YouTube monetization revolves around AdSense ad impressions, video views, and Revenue Per Mille (RPM). RPM represents the net earnings a creator makes per 1,000 video views after YouTube's 45% platform revenue split.

YouTube Revenue Formula

Estimated YouTube Ad Revenue is calculated using the following equation:

$$\text{Daily Revenue} = \left( \frac{\text{Daily Views} \times \frac{\text{Monetized \%}}{100}}{1000} \right) \times \text{RPM}$$

Where:

• Daily Views ($V$): The total number of video views accumulated per day.
• Monetized % ($M_{\%}$): The proportion of total views that display ads (typically 50%–80%).
• RPM ($RPM$): Revenue per 1,000 views earned by the creator.

CPM vs RPM

CPM (Cost Per Mille) is the gross cost advertisers pay per 1,000 ad impressions before YouTube takes its share. RPM (Revenue Per Mille) is the net amount creators receive per 1,000 total video views, accounting for ad blockers, unmonetized views, and YouTube's 45% revenue cut.
