YouTube CPM Niche Revenue Estimator
Estimate your YouTube ad revenue based on niche-specific CPMs and geographic audience tiers. Compute your monthly and annual RPM payout.
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.
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.
