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.
