The Math Behind YouTube Earnings

YouTube pays creators through the YouTube Partner Program (YPP). The amount you get paid is determined by two main factors:

  • Views: The number of times people watch your videos.
  • RPM (Revenue Per Mille): How much money you earn for every 1,000 views.

The formula is simple: (Total Views / 1,000) * RPM = Earnings.
For example, if you have 10,000 views and your RPM is $3.00, your earnings would be: (10,000 / 1,000) * 3 = $30.00.

What Affects Your RPM?

Why do some YouTubers make $1 per 1,000 views while others make $20? It comes down to advertiser demand.

1. Your Niche (Topic)

Advertisers pay more to reach audiences interested in high-value topics.
High RPM Niches ($10 - $50): Finance, Investing, Insurance, Real Estate, Tech Reviews.
Average RPM Niches ($2 - $5): Vlogs, Gaming, Comedy, Music, Entertainment.

2. Viewer Location

Views from "Tier 1" countries (USA, UK, Canada, Australia) are worth significantly more than views from developing nations because the purchasing power of the audience is higher.

3. Video Length

Videos longer than 8 minutes allow for "Mid-roll Ads" (ads placed in the middle of the video). This effectively doubles or triples the number of ads shown per view, significantly increasing your RPM compared to shorter videos.
