A revenue per video calculator estimates how much ad revenue a single YouTube video generates based on its view count, CPM rate, and niche. The formula is: Revenue = (Views × Ad View Rate × CPM) ÷ 1,000 × Creator Share. With YouTube's standard 55% creator share and 45% ad view rate, a video with 10,000 views and $5 CPM earns approximately $12.38. However, CPM varies dramatically by niche (finance: $8–$15, entertainment: $2–$5), audience geography (US viewers earn 3–5× more than global average), and time of year (Q4 CPMs spike 30–50%). This calculator helps creators understand the revenue potential of different content types, set realistic expectations for new videos, and make data-driven decisions about which content topics to prioritize for maximum revenue.
