Note
This is a simplified model: it applies the counts, rates, prices and fees you enter to plain arithmetic. Every platform cut, payment fee, CPM, royalty per play and commission rate is a value you supply, because no platform's revenue share, advertising rate or payout rate is fixed: they change over time and differ by country, contract, category, audience and season. Engagement, open, click and unsubscribe rates are the standard definitions, but each platform and email tool counts interactions, reach, delivered mail and opens differently, so a rate is only comparable against numbers counted the same way; image-blocking and privacy features in particular make open rates unreliable. Revenue estimates ignore taxes, withholding, currency conversion, refunds, chargebacks, invalid traffic, minimum payout thresholds and payment delays. The churn projection assumes a constant monthly churn rate and a constant number of new subscribers, which real audiences never follow. Treat every figure as a rough planning estimate, not a forecast of what you will be paid, and check your own platform statements and any contract before relying on it. This is not financial, tax or legal advice.

How is video ad revenue estimated from CPM?+
Multiply your monetized views (or impressions) by the CPM (cost per thousand), then divide by 1,000. 500,000 monetized views at a $4 CPM produces $2,000 in ad revenue before any platform cut.
Why does the calculator ask for 'monetized' views rather than total views?+
Because not every view carries an ad — some viewers use ad blockers, some regions have lower ad fill rates, and some content isn't eligible for every ad type — so monetized views (or 'playback-based CPM' views) are the actual base the CPM applies to, not raw view count.
Why does my CPM vary so much month to month?+
CPM fluctuates with advertiser demand (often higher in Q4 for holiday shopping season), your audience's geographic location (advertisers pay more to reach certain countries), content category, and seasonal ad budget cycles — it's a market rate, not a fixed number.
Does this revenue figure include the platform's cut?+
No — this calculates gross ad revenue generated by the views. Use the revenue share calculator afterward to find your actual payout after the platform's percentage is deducted.
Why do two creators with the same view count earn very different amounts?+
Because CPM (and therefore revenue) depends heavily on audience demographics and content niche — finance and tech content in wealthy ad markets typically commands a much higher CPM than, say, entertainment content viewed mostly in lower ad-rate regions.
