Views to money
Enter the views and pick where they happened. The answer is a range, because the same million views can pay ten times more on one platform than another — and within one platform, more than that again depending on the niche.
Leave at zero to use a typical figure for the platform.
A typical range for YouTube Shorts. Your own RPM will land somewhere in it.
- RPM used

- Per 100,000 views

- Views for $1,000

Worth knowing
The number that decides this is RPM — what you keep per thousand views. Advertisers talk about CPM, which is what they pay before the platform takes its share, so a CPM figure will always look better than what arrives.
Why this is a range and not a number
Every figure here depends on assumptions, and the honest thing is to show them rather than hide them behind one confident answer. Change any input and the result moves; put in your own numbers and it stops being an estimate at all. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
