How the calculator works
- Your views are divided by 1,000.
- That is multiplied by the RPM range for your niche and audience country, which already has YouTube's share taken out.
- Daily figures assume a 30.4-day month; yearly figures assume the same views every month.
It is the same rate table our channel analyzeruses, so a channel's page and this calculator always agree.

FAQ
How much does YouTube pay for 1,000 views in India?
For an Indian audience, about ₹30 – ₹70 per 1,000 long-form views in a general niche. Finance channels earn ₹90 – ₹250, tech ₹70 – ₹180, gaming ₹30 – ₹60 and music ₹20 – ₹45. Shorts pay far less, about ₹2 to ₹10 per 1,000 views.
How much does a YouTuber earn from 1 million views?
In a general niche, 1 million long-form views earns about ₹30,000 – ₹70,000 from an Indian audience. The same views in finance earn ₹90,000 – ₹2.5 L, in kids content ₹15,000 – ₹35,000.
What is RPM on YouTube?
RPM (revenue per mille) is what a creator actually receives per 1,000 views, after YouTube's share. YouTube's partner terms give creators 55% of net ad revenue on their watch pages, so RPM is always lower than CPM, the price advertisers pay.
Why does audience country matter so much?
Advertisers bid more to reach viewers in high-spending markets. The same general-niche channel earns about ₹30 – ₹70 per 1,000 views from an Indian audience and ₹106 – ₹440 from a US or UK audience.
Can I check how much a specific channel earns?
Yes. Type the channel name or @handle into the channel search on this page. It reads the channel's real public views and subscriber count from YouTube and applies the rate for its niche and country.
When can a channel start earning?
A channel joins the YouTube Partner Programme at 1,000 subscribers plus either 4,000 public watch hours in the last 12 months or 10 million Shorts views in the last 90 days.
Are these figures exact?
No. They are ranges built from published 2026 RPM reporting. Real earnings move with season (December pays more than January), ad formats, video length and how many viewers use ad blockers or YouTube Premium.
