YouTube Revenue Estimator — Monthly Range

What it is

As a channel grows you start to wonder what today’s views are worth in a month. But YouTube revenue is not set by views alone: RPM can differ several times over. This YouTube revenue estimator takes your monthly views and a low and a high RPM and estimates a range for monthly revenue. You can split the views between long-form videos and Shorts and apply a separate RPM to each. It shows a range instead of one number because RPM is that uncertain. Everything is calculated in your browser.

How to use

1. Enter your total views for a month.
2. Enter the share of views that comes from Shorts, or leave it empty if you only post long videos.
3. Enter the long-form RPM low and high from YouTube Studio.
4. If Shorts have a share, enter a Shorts RPM low and high as well.
5. Read the low, middle and high monthly estimates and the yearly totals.

How it works

• Monthly estimate = views ÷ 1,000 × RPM, rounded to the smallest currency unit.
• Views are split by the Shorts share into long-form and Shorts, each multiplied by its RPM low and high and then added.
• The middle is the average of low and high and the yearly value is the monthly value × 12.
• There is no default RPM range in English. The Korean page prefills 1,000 to 4,500 won from a Korean blog (a secondary source, post date unknown), which is not an exact figure.
• There is no built-in Shorts RPM, so you enter it.
• The low cannot be above the high and the Shorts share runs from 0 to 100%.

Example

100,000 monthly views, a long-form RPM of 1,000 to 4,500 and no Shorts.

Item	Calculation	Result
Low	100,000 ÷ 1,000 × 1,000	100,000
High	100,000 ÷ 1,000 × 4,500	450,000
Middle	(100,000 + 450,000) ÷ 2	275,000
Yearly	monthly × 12	1,200,000 to 5,400,000

With a 30% Shorts share and a Shorts RPM of 50 to 200 the views split into 70,000 long-form and 30,000 Shorts, giving 71,500 to 321,000 a month.

Common mistakes

Mixing up RPM and CPM and entering the advertiser’s price inflates the result several times over. Enter the creator’s earnings per 1,000 views. Multiplying all views by the long-form RPM is another frequent mistake: Shorts earn differently, so with a big share calculate them separately. This is an estimate of the range you assume, not a prediction, so compare it with the real figures in YouTube Studio before relying on it for plans or contracts.
