Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about YouTube earnings
How much does YouTube pay per 1,000 views?
YouTube pays between $0.50 and $20 per 1,000 views (RPM). It depends on your audience country, niche and ad engagement. USA and UK viewers earn the most. South Asian audiences typically earn $0.50–$2 RPM.
How does YouTube calculate my earnings?
YouTube uses RPM × monetizable views ÷ 1000. Not all views are monetizable — only views where an ad is shown count. YouTube keeps 45% of ad revenue and pays creators the remaining 55%.
What is a good RPM on YouTube?
RPM varies by niche: Finance = $8–$20, Tech = $4–$8, Education = $3–$5, Gaming = $1–$4, Entertainment = $1–$3. Channels targeting US, UK or Canadian audiences earn higher RPM.
How many views to make $1,000 on YouTube?
With a $2 RPM you need about 500,000 views to earn $1,000. With $5 RPM you need 200,000 views. With $10 RPM only 100,000 views. Use our calculator above for a personalized estimate.
