About this calculator
This is an editable scenario, not a forecast. Enter all money amounts in USD. It estimates eligible long-form watch-page ad revenue from playback-based CPM, monetized views, and the creator share you enter, then adds your other monthly income. YouTube monetization differs by product, eligibility, geography, and reporting period; actual Analytics RPM and finalized earnings can differ.

Formula and variables
A = V × m ÷ 1000 × C × s ÷ 100; T = A + U + F
- V
- Monthly channel views
- m
- Monetized views (%)
- C
- Playback-based CPM (USD)
- s
- Creator share (%)
- U
- Membership income (USD)
- F
- Affiliate income (USD)
- A
- Modeled ad revenue (USD)
- T
- Modeled total per month (USD)
Annual total = T × 12. Ad revenue per 1,000 monetized playbacks is undefined when there are none; modeled total per 1,000 channel views is undefined when V = 0. All money inputs are USD. This is an assumption-based scenario, not a forecast.
Frequently asked questions
How does the tool estimate ad income?
It multiplies views by the monetized-view percentage, divides by 1,000, then applies the entered CPM and creator share. Membership and affiliate income are added separately. All money inputs are USD; the result is a scenario based on your assumptions, not a forecast.
Why is a per-1,000 result blank?
Ad revenue per 1,000 monetized playbacks is undefined when there are no monetized playbacks. Modeled total per 1,000 channel views is undefined when views are zero.
