Check your YouTube CPM, understand RPM, estimate earnings
Looking for a YouTube money calculator or a way to check your CPM? Start with the number you actually have. Public views cannot reveal another channel's private advertiser revenue.

Check and monitor actual CPM
Find your own CPM in YouTube Studio and compare consistent periods. Our Usage Monitor tracks site API activity, not your channel.
How much does YouTube pay for 1,000 views?
There is no fixed payout. At a hypothetical $3 RPM, 1,000 comparable views imply $3, 100,000 imply $300 and one million imply $3,000. These are arithmetic examples, not average rates. Use your own measured RPM and keep Shorts and long-form calculations separate.
CPM = gross ad revenue ÷ ad impressions × 1,000. RPM = creator revenue ÷ the corresponding views × 1,000. Our homepage is a simplified long-form ad forecast with explicit fill and revenue-share assumptions; it is not a report of your actual Studio RPM.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I check my YouTube CPM?
Sign in to YouTube Studio, select Analytics and Revenue, and inspect the available ad-performance metrics for your date range. Use Advanced mode where needed. Record whether you are reading impression CPM or playback-based CPM; they use different denominators. Our public tools do not access your private channel reports.
What is the YouTube CPM formula?
CPM = gross ad revenue or advertiser spend divided by ad impressions, multiplied by 1,000. For example, $100 across 10,000 ad impressions is a $10 CPM. Net creator revenue and total video views cannot replace those inputs.
How is YouTube RPM different from CPM?
CPM describes advertiser cost before revenue sharing. RPM describes creator revenue per 1,000 corresponding views after revenue sharing. Studio RPM can include more than advertising, while this homepage offers ad-only long-form and separate unverified Shorts scenarios. For Shorts RPM, use the engaged-view basis described by YouTube.
How much does YouTube pay for 1,000 views?
There is no fixed payout. A hypothetical $3 RPM implies $3 per 1,000 comparable views and $3,000 per million. Audience, format, ad eligibility, revenue sources and the reporting period affect the result. These examples are calculations, not market averages.
Can I check any channel's actual CPM without permission?
Not with these public tools. Views and subscriber counts do not reveal private gross ad revenue or ad impressions. YouTube Analytics monetary reports require appropriate owner authorization. Estimates and actual channel reports must be labeled separately.
Do I need to sign up, and are my calculations monitored?
No signup is needed. Browser calculator inputs stay in your browser. Direct calculation API requests may be stored anonymously. The Usage Monitor shows that API activity, not live YouTube channel analytics. We do not provide a connected-channel monitoring service.
