To use this Youtube money calculator, enter the number of views you get daily on your channel and the cost per mille (CPM) that advertisers have to pay. The tool will instantly estimate your daily, monthly, and yearly earnings from YouTube.

YouTube money formula

Daily YouTube Earnings = (Daily Views × CPM × 0.55) / 1,000

Note: The 0.55 factor represents the 55% revenue share you receive from YouTube ads, as YouTube keeps 45% of the ad revenue.

Monthly YouTube Earnings = Daily YouTube Earnings × 30

Yearly YouTube Earnings = Daily YouTube Earnings × 365

Understanding the YouTube money result

Your earnings will vary depending on your content, audience, and niche. Generally,

• High earnings are usually the result of a high CPM and consistent views. This indicates that your content is resonating with your target audience.
• Low earnings, particularly compared to your content production costs, indicate that you need to optimize your content strategy to attract more views.

When to calculate YouTube earnings

• After uploading new content to understand potential revenue based on the views received

• To assess the impact of an advertising campaign on your channel

• As part of long-term financial planning for your YouTube channel

• To compare the earnings potential of different video formats or topics

How to calculate YouTube earnings (with example)

Let’s say your channel gets 10,000 daily views, and your CPM is $3. You can calculate your earnings as follows:

Daily YouTube Earnings = (Daily Views × CPM × 0.55) / 1,000

Daily YouTube Earnings = (10,000 × 3 × 0.55) / 1,000 = $16.50

Monthly YouTube Earnings = $16.50 × 30 = $495

Yearly YouTube Earnings = $16.50 × 365 = $6,022.50

This example shows that with 10,000 daily views and a CPM of $3, you could earn about $16.50 per day, $495 per month, and over $6,022.50 per year.
