YouTube RPM is creator revenue per 1,000 total views after YouTube's revenue share. It can include ads, memberships, Premium revenue, and other eligible platform revenue.
Why RPM varies
Audience country, advertiser demand, season, video length, ad suitability, viewer device, niche, and monetized-playback rate all affect RPM. A niche label alone cannot predict earnings.
Estimate revenue
Estimated revenue = views / 1,000 × RPM. At 250,000 views and a 1,000.
Limitations
Published niche ranges are not guarantees and often mix CPM with RPM. Use your own channel analytics and separate long-form, Shorts, sponsorships, and affiliate income.
