Frequently asked questions

How is YouTube revenue estimated?

Revenue = (monthly views ÷ 1,000) × RPM, where RPM is the niche base rate adjusted by your audience country multiplier. After-tax applies your tax rate.

Why does country matter?

Advertiser CPMs vary widely by country, so audience geography strongly affects RPM. US/UK audiences typically pay far more than lower-CPM regions.

Where do the RPM numbers come from?

Niche RPM benchmarks and country multipliers are sourced from public YouTube creator reports and advertising industry data, versioned and updated regularly. The footer shows the data version. For precision, cross-reference with your own YouTube Studio analytics.
