Estimate your YouTube channel's potential earnings with our free YT Channel Money Calculator. This tool helps creators understand how much money they could make based on views, CPM (cost per thousand views), and monetization rates.
How the YT Channel Money Calculator Works
The calculator estimates your YouTube earnings by considering several key factors:
- Total views - The number of views your videos receive
- CPM (Cost Per Mille) - The amount advertisers pay per 1,000 views
- Monetization rate - The percentage of views that are eligible for monetization
- Ad revenue share - The percentage of ad revenue that YouTube keeps
The formula used is:
Formula
Estimated Earnings = (Total Views × CPM × Monetization Rate) × (1 - Ad Revenue Share)
This calculation provides an estimate of your potential earnings before taxes and other deductions. Actual earnings may vary based on many factors including YouTube's algorithms, ad demand, and changes in monetization policies.

If you have a small channel with:
- 10,000 views
- CPM of $3
- Monetization rate of 70%
- Ad revenue share of 55%

Calculation
(10,000 × $3 × 0.70) × (1 - 0.55) = $1,540 × 0.45 = $693
Estimated earnings: $693
Example 2: Medium Channel
For a medium-sized channel with:
- 100,000 views
- CPM of $5
- Monetization rate of 80%
- Ad revenue share of 55%
The calculation would be:
Calculation
(100,000 × $5 × 0.80) × (1 - 0.55) = $4,000 × 0.45 = $1,800
Estimated earnings: $1,800
