How it works
Methodology & formulas
This calculator is transparent by design. Review the steps and formulas so you can trust the estimate and adjust assumptions when your dashboard differs.
Calculation steps
- 1Monetized views equal total views times monetized percent.
- 2Ad revenue equals monetized views divided by 1,000 times RPM as entered.
- 3Creator share equals ad revenue times creator percentage divided by 100.
- 4Total revenue equals creator share plus sponsorship plus other revenue.
- 5Estimated CPM is ad revenue divided by monetized views times 1,000.
- 6Chart shows creator ad earnings, sponsorship, and other revenue, filtering out zero slices.
Formulas
- Monetized views = totalViews × monetized%
- Ad revenue = (monetizedViews ÷ 1000) × RPM
- Creator share = adRevenue × creatorShare%
- Total revenue = creatorShare + sponsorship + otherRevenue
- Effective CPM = adRevenue ÷ monetizedViews × 1000
Important assumptions
- RPM is revenue per 1,000 views after YouTube share, typically $1-$10. Finance and education niches often $8+, gaming and entertainment $1-$4.
- Monetized playback percent is share of views with at least one ad shown, typically 70-95% for long-form eligible content.
- YouTube keeps 45% of ad revenue, creator keeps 55% for standard Partner Program. This calculator allows 55% default but keeps it editable.
- CPM vs RPM: CPM is advertiser cost per 1,000 impressions before YouTube cut, RPM is creator revenue per 1,000 views after cut. RPM is what matters for forecasting take-home.
- Sponsorship and other income like memberships, Super Chat, and merch shelf are added on top and not subject to YouTube ad split.
- Shorts revenue uses different pool model and usually much lower RPM $0.02-$0.10, not this standard long-form model.
Worked example
Tech channel 50k views month
10,000 views, 85% monetized, $3.50 RPM, 55% creator share, $200 sponsorship, $50 other.
