1. What is YouTube RPM?

RPM (Revenue per Mille) represents how much money you earn per 1,000 views on your YouTube videos. It's a key metric for understanding your channel's monetization performance.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the YouTube earnings equation:

Where:

• \( views \) — Total number of video views
• \( rpm \) — Revenue per 1000 views in your currency

Explanation: The equation calculates your estimated earnings by multiplying your total views by your RPM rate (divided by 1000 to convert to per-view rate).

3. Importance of Earnings Calculation

Details: Understanding your potential earnings helps with content strategy, monetization optimization, and financial planning for your YouTube channel.

4. Using the Calculator
