FAQ
What is RPM?
Revenue per mille represents total creator revenue per 1,000 monetised views, combining ad formats.
Should I include branded content?
No. This calculator focuses on revenue processed through YouTube, not off-platform sponsorships.
Does YouTube take the same cut on memberships and Super Chats?
Most channels see a similar split around 30–45%. Adjust the YouTube revenue share input to reflect your contract.
Additional Information
- RPM already accounts for ad fill rate and watch time—use monetised views, not total impressions.
- Update the revenue share if you have a partner manager or different contract terms.
- Multiply the monthly projection by seasonal uplift factors for peak months.
