YouTube Money Calculator

About This Tool

So you’ve got a YouTube channel—maybe it’s blowing up, maybe it’s just you and your dog watching—and you’re wondering how much cash you could actually be pulling in. That’s where this YouTube Money Calculator comes in. It’s not magic. No secret sauce. Just a straightforward way to estimate your earnings based on real-world numbers. I built this because I was tired of guessing. One month I made $12. The next? $87. What changed? Was it the algorithm? The thumbnail? Or just dumb luck? This tool helps cut through the noise. You punch in your views, maybe your RPM (that’s revenue per thousand impressions), and it gives you a rough idea of what’s hitting your bank account. It’s not perfect. YouTube doesn’t pay the same everywhere. Ad blockers exist. Some videos just don’t monetize well. But it’s a solid starting point. Think of it like a weather forecast—probably right, but don’t bet your rent on it.

FAQ

How accurate is this thing, really?
Honestly? It’s a ballpark. If your RPM is $3 and you got 100,000 views, you’re probably looking at around $300. But YouTube takes a cut, taxes might apply, and some views don’t count. So maybe you see $200–$250. It’s not exact, but it’s close enough to plan with.

Why does RPM change so much?
Good question. RPM depends on your audience, the time of year, what ads are running, and even the topic of your video. Finance channels? Higher RPM. Random cat videos? Lower. Also, viewers from the U.S. or U.K. usually bring in more than others. It’s messy. That’s why this tool lets you adjust the RPM—so you can play with different scenarios.
