Frequently Asked Questions
How much does YouTube pay per 1,000 views?
YouTube pays creators between $1 and $30 per 1,000 views, depending on niche and audience location. This metric is called RPM (Revenue Per Mille). High-value niches like Finance and Insurance can earn $18–$24 RPM, while entertainment niches like Gaming and Comedy earn $1–$3 RPM. YouTube takes a 45% cut of ad revenue before paying creators.
What is RPM and how is it calculated?
RPM (Revenue Per Mille) is the amount you earn per 1,000 monetized views after YouTube's 45% cut. It's calculated as: RPM = (Total Earnings ÷ Total Views) × 1,000. Unlike CPM (which measures advertiser cost), RPM reflects your actual take-home pay. RPM varies by content niche, viewer geography, video length, and seasonal ad demand.
Is TubeMoney Pro free to use?
Yes, the core YouTube earnings calculator is completely free. You can calculate estimated earnings for any niche, country, and view count without creating an account.

How accurate are the earnings estimates?
Our estimates are based on aggregated industry data across 20 niches and 18 countries, and are designed for strategic planning. We factor in niche-specific RPM baselines, geographic ad-spend weighting, and YouTube's 55/45 revenue split. Actual earnings vary based on individual video performance, viewer watch time, ad formats served, and seasonal fluctuations.
