How to read these figures
Illustrative planning assumptions, not measured averages or measurements taken from authenticated YouTube Analytics accounts. These estimates have no documented source period or revenue cohort.
No per-channel sample underlies these figures. TubeAnalytics reads authenticated CPM and RPM live from the YouTube Analytics API for the account that is signed in, and does not retain that data to aggregate. Use the figures only as inputs to hypothetical calculations, not evidence of country or niche earnings, market rankings, or a specific channel's future revenue.
Your own CPM and RPM are in YouTube Studio under Analytics → Revenue, and are the only figures that describe your channel. Why unsourced RPM tables mislead.
