What Is a YouTube CPM Calculator?
CPM stands for Cost Per Mille which means “cost per 1,000 ad impressions”. On YouTube, CPM is how much advertisers pay for 1,000 monetized views. A YouTube CPM calculator helps you estimate your earnings using a simple formula so you can plan your content, goals and income.
How to Calculate YouTube Earnings From CPM
The basic formula is:
Earnings = (Views ÷ 1,000) × CPM
If your CPM is 3.50 and you get 100,000 monetized views:
Earnings = (100,000 ÷ 1,000) × 3.50 = 100 × 3.50 = 350 So you would earn about 350 in your currency before any other adjustments.
CPM vs RPM – What’s the Difference?
CPM is what advertisers pay. RPM is what you actually earn per 1,000 views after YouTube takes its share (around 45%). That means RPM is often around 50–60% of your CPM. This tool shows both CPM and a rough RPM estimate so you can understand realistic earnings.
