Formula
How it works: RPM blends CPM, ad inventory, and YouTube share; treat it as a planning input. Partner Program rules require 1,000 subscribers and 4,000 valid public watch hours in the last 12 months. This tool approximates the watch hour rule by comparing annualized hours from your entered monthly pace.
Review and Methodology
This calculator runs locally in your browser. Inputs are converted into the units required by the formula, and the result is paired with supporting references so you can verify the method before using it for planning or estimates.
Worked Example
How YouTube Revenue and Partner Projections Work
Ad revenue is driven by monetized playbacks, not raw view counts. RPM summarizes what you earn per 1,000 monetized views after YouTube share. Growth projections multiply your view count by a monthly percentage you choose; that is a simple compound model, not a guarantee. Subscriber and watch hour timelines are linear shortcuts for planning. Real Partner Program checks use YouTube analytics and rolling windows.
- Higher RPM niches (finance, business) often beat general vlogs at the same view count
- Shorts and long-form can have very different monetization; one RPM blends them
- Seasonality can swing RPM 20% or more month to month
Use Studio analytics for official eligibility. This calculator is for planning and scenario testing only.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you look up revenue by channel name?
No. Enter numbers from YouTube Studio or another analytics source. We do not fetch live channel data.
What is RPM on YouTube?
RPM is revenue per 1,000 monetized views after YouTube share. It is a useful planning number but changes with audience location, ad format mix, and time of year.
Is monthly watch hours times twelve the same as 4,000 hours in the last twelve months?
Not exactly. YouTube uses a rolling total of valid public watch hours. Multiplying one month by twelve is a quick sanity check only.
Why do my real payouts differ from this estimate?
Shorts Fund, memberships, Super Chat, brand deals, and taxes are not included here. RPM also moves week to week.
What counts as exponential versus linear growth?
This tool uses compound percent growth on views for revenue forecasts. Subscriber growth uses a simple linear subs-per-month estimate unless you change your inputs.
