Show the math
Revenue is your effective RPM applied to every thousand views:
monthly = views ÷ 1000 × RPM
RPM (from CPM) = CPM × revenue share ÷ 100
RPM is what you actually keep per 1,000 views after the platform's cut and unmonetised views; CPM is what advertisers pay before that. If you enter an RPM it's used directly; otherwise it's derived from CPM and your share. All math runs in your browser.
What this does
A creator revenue calculator estimates ad revenue from monthly views using either your RPM or an advertiser CPM with your revenue share — shown per day, month, and year.
How to use it
- Enter your monthly views.
- Enter your RPM, or a CPM and share.
- Read the monthly revenue.
- See the daily and yearly figures.
How it works
RPM is what you keep per 1,000 views after the platform cut and unmonetised views — more useful than CPM. Real earnings swing with season and niche, so treat it as a ballpark.
monthly = views ÷ 1000 × RPM
Understanding your result
RPM is the more honest input because it is what you actually keep per thousand views after the platform cut and unmonetised plays, whereas CPM is the advertiser gross. Earnings swing with season and niche, so read the result as a ballpark range rather than a dependable salary.
Example
200,000 views at a $4 RPM is about $800 a month.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between RPM and CPM?
CPM is what advertisers pay per 1,000 ad impressions before the platform’s cut; RPM is what you actually keep per 1,000 views after the cut and unmonetised views. RPM is the more useful figure for creators.
How is monthly revenue calculated?
Monthly views are divided by 1,000 and multiplied by your effective RPM. If you leave RPM at zero, it is derived from your CPM and revenue-share percentage.
Why is this only an estimate?
Real earnings swing with seasonality, niche, ad rates and how many views are actually monetised, so treat the result as a ballpark.
