Niche-Specific CPM and Geographic Revenue Formula

Gross CPM is determined by your content niche, then scaled by your audience's geographic tier distribution. The effective RPM is computed after applying YouTube's 45% revenue cut, mid-roll boosts (for 8+ min videos), and non-monetized view discounts.

Gross Niche CPM = Base Niche CPM Rate
Geographic Multiplier = (Tier 1 % * 1.0) + (Tier 2 % * 0.7) + (Tier 3 % * 0.3)
Adjusted CPM = Gross Niche CPM * Geographic Multiplier
Ad Playback RPM = (Adjusted CPM * 0.55) * (Mid-Roll Boost Multiplier)
Effective RPM = Ad Playback RPM * (Monetized Views % / 100)
Estimated Monthly Revenue = (Monthly Views / 1000) * Effective RPM

Mid-roll boost multiplies RPM by 1.4x if enabled (simulating 8+ minute content). Monetized Views percentage is assumed at 70% to account for ad-blockers and Premium.

Real-World Scenario Example

"A creator gets 300,000 views in the Technology niche, with a 60% Tier 1, 30% Tier 2, and 10% Tier 3 audience split, and mid-rolls enabled."

Inputs

monthlyViews:300000
niche:tech
tier1Percent:60
tier2Percent:30
tier3Percent:10
midRollsEnabled:true

Result

Gross CPM is $18.00. Geo multiplier is (0.6*1.0 + 0.3*0.7 + 0.1*0.3) = 0.84. Adjusted CPM is $15.12. With YouTube's 55% share, 1.4x mid-roll boost, and 70% monetization rate, effective RPM is $8.15. Monthly revenue is $2,444.15.
