YouTube Earnings Calculator

A YouTube earnings calculator estimates how much money a channel makes per month by combining the four main revenue streams: AdSense ads served against your videos, sponsorship deals, affiliate links in your descriptions, and channel memberships or Super Chats. Most YouTube income calculators online only show ad revenue based on views — but for any channel above ~50k subscribers, ads are usually the smallest piece of the pie. This calculator lets you model the full income mix so you can see what a realistic full-time YouTube income actually looks like for your niche.

Start with your average monthly views — use the last 28 days from YouTube Studio for accuracy. Set your RPM (revenue per 1,000 views after YouTube's 45% cut) based on your niche: $1–3 for entertainment and gaming, $3–8 for tech and lifestyle, $10–25+ for finance, business, and B2B. Then add realistic monthly numbers for sponsor deals, affiliate commissions, and memberships or Super Chats. The calculator gives you total monthly and annual income, plus the share coming from ads vs everything else.

There's no single answer, because RPM varies by niche, geography, season, and content format. Long-form videos in the US about credit cards, software, or insurance can earn $20–40 per 1,000 views. Daily vlogs aimed at a global teen audience often earn under $1.50 per 1,000 views. Shorts pay roughly $0.04–$0.10 per 1,000 views — much less than long-form. Channels with most views from US, UK, Canada, Australia, or Germany earn 2–4x more per view than channels watched mainly in lower-CPM regions. Use this calculator to plug in your own RPM rather than relying on averages.
