RPM is the simplest input because it describes revenue per 1,000 total views after YouTube's share. Replace the starting value with the RPM shown in your own Studio analytics whenever possible.
CPM
Model advertiser spend carefully.
CPM is not creator take-home revenue. This calculator adjusts CPM using your estimated monetized-view rate and the standard long-form creator share, but the result remains a planning range.
REALITY CHECK
Views are only one variable.
Audience location, season, format, ad demand, YouTube Premium, memberships, sponsors, affiliates, and products can all change actual revenue.
