Mathematical Audit

YouTube AdSense Revenue Formulas

Calculates AdSense payouts for long-form videos and YouTube Shorts, accounting for revenue shares.

Monetized Views = Total Views × Monetized Views Rate
Gross Revenue = (Monetized Views ÷ 1,000) × CPM
Long-Form Net Revenue = Gross Revenue × (1 - YouTube Share Rate)
Shorts Net Revenue = (Shorts Views ÷ 1,000) × Shorts RPM
Total Revenue = Long-Form Net Revenue + Shorts Net Revenue
Blended RPM = (Total Revenue ÷ (Total Views + Shorts Views)) × 1,000

YouTube keeps a 45% share for long-form ads (creator gets 55%), and keeps a 55% share for Shorts ads (creator pool gets 45%).

How to Forecast Your YouTube AdSense Earnings

1

Enter monthly long-form views

Input your monthly expected views for regular long-form videos.

2

Select monetized views percentage

Input the percentage of views that show ads (typically 50-80% due to adblockers, mobile, or lack of ads).

3

Enter advertiser CPM and revenue split

Input the Cost Per Mille (what advertisers pay per 1,000 views, usually $5-30) and the YouTube fee (default is 45%).

4

Provide Shorts views and RPM

Add your expected monthly Shorts views and the net Shorts RPM (usually $0.01 to $0.07).

Real-World Scenario Example

"A channel gets 100,000 long-form views (70% monetized, $10 CPM, 45% platform fee) and 500,000 Shorts views ($0.05 RPM)."

Important Disclaimer

AdSense earnings fluctuate based on season (Q4 CPMs are usually higher), ad demand, creator niche, and changes to YouTube's monetization rules.
