# How much does YouTube pay per 1,000 views?

Canonical: https://postmesh.app/blog/how-much-does-youtube-pay-per-1000-views

By PostMesh team. Published 2026-10-26; updated 2026-10-31.

YouTube doesn't pay a fixed amount per 1,000 views. What you earn per 1,000 views is your RPM, shown in YouTube Studio under Analytics, Revenue, and it comes from your share of the money: 55% of net ad revenue on long-form videos and 45% of the revenue allocated to you on Shorts, for channels in the YouTube Partner Program.

YouTube's [partner earnings overview](https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/72902) is blunt about it: there are no guarantees under the YouTube partner agreement about how much or whether you'll be paid. So any single dollar figure for 1,000 views is someone's average, not a rate YouTube sets. What YouTube does publish is how the money is split, how to read your own numbers and what makes them move. That's what this guide covers, from YouTube's help center and official blog, with worked examples that use made-up RPMs so the math is easy to follow.

## The short answer

Your pay per 1,000 views is your RPM, revenue per mille. YouTube calculates it after its own share and spreads it across all your views, including the ones that showed no ad. To estimate what a number of views pays, divide the views by 1,000 and multiply by your RPM. A channel with an RPM of $2 earns about $2 per 1,000 views; one with $6 earns about $6. Your RPM is specific to your channel, and it only exists once you're in the YouTube Partner Program.

**Where does your channel stand?**
- Not in the YouTube Partner Program → No ad revenue yet. Work toward 1,000 subscribers and the watch hours or Shorts views threshold.
- In the 500-subscriber tier only → Fan funding and Shopping, but no ad or Premium revenue sharing
- In the full YPP tier → Open Analytics, then Revenue, and use your own RPM
- Mostly posting Shorts → Paid from the Shorts Creator Pool: 45% of your allocation

*From YouTube Help: YouTube Partner Program overview, expanded YPP overview and Shorts monetization policies.*

| Example RPM | 1,000 views | 10,000 views | 100,000 views | 1,000,000 views |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| $0.50 | $0.50 | $5 | $50 | $500 |
| $1 | $1 | $10 | $100 | $1,000 |
| $2 | $2 | $20 | $200 | $2,000 |
| $4 | $4 | $40 | $400 | $4,000 |
| $8 | $8 | $80 | $800 | $8,000 |

These RPMs are examples to show the math, not typical rates. YouTube doesn't publish an average RPM, and your own can be above or below every row here. The free [YouTube money calculator](/tools/youtube-money-calculator) does the same sum with the RPM from your own Studio, and the guide to [how much YouTube pays for 1 million views](/blog/how-much-does-youtube-pay-for-1-million-views) works through bigger numbers in detail.

## What is RPM on YouTube?

YouTube's help page [Understand ad revenue analytics](https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/9314357) defines RPM as how much you've earned per 1,000 video views. It's calculated after YouTube's revenue share and includes all views, monetized or not. It's meant to show how well your channel earns overall, which is why it's the number that answers this question.

### What RPM includes

- Ad revenue from your videos.
- YouTube Premium revenue, the share of subscription money paid for Premium members' viewing.
- Channel memberships.
- Super Chat and Super Stickers.

### What RPM leaves out

The same page says RPM doesn't include merchandise sales, brand deals other than those through YouTube Creator Partnerships, or indirect income such as speaking or consulting work that comes from your channel. If most of your income is sponsorships, your RPM will look small next to what the channel actually earns you.

### Long-form RPM and Shorts RPM

YouTube counts views differently for the two formats. For long-form videos, RPM uses all views. For Shorts, it uses engaged views. Shorts are also paid from a separate pool, covered further down, so a channel's Shorts RPM and long-form RPM are best read separately rather than as one blended number.

## What's the difference between RPM and CPM?

CPM is the advertiser's side of the same money. YouTube defines CPM as what an advertiser pays for 1,000 ad impressions, measured before YouTube's revenue share and counting only ad and Premium revenue on views where ads were shown. Playback-based CPM is the cost per 1,000 monetized playbacks, meaning views with at least one ad.

|  | RPM | CPM | Playback-based CPM |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Whose number | Yours | The advertiser's | The advertiser's |
| Per 1,000 of | Views | Ad impressions | Monetized playbacks |
| YouTube's share | Already taken out | Not taken out | Not taken out |
| Views counted | All views, with or without ads | Only views with ads | Only views with ads |
| Revenue counted | Ads, Premium, memberships, Super Chat, Super Stickers | Ads and Premium | Ads and Premium |

### YouTube's own worked example

The help page uses one example to show how these differ. A video is viewed 5,000 times. 1,000 of those views include one ad and 500 include two ads, so there are 1,500 monetized playbacks and 2,000 ad impressions. The advertiser pays $7 in total. The CPM is $7 divided by 2,000 impressions, times 1,000: $3.50. The playback-based CPM is $7 divided by 1,500 playbacks, times 1,000: $4.67.

- 5,000: Views in YouTube's example
- 1,500: Monetized playbacks (views with an ad)
- $3.50: CPM: $7 over 2,000 ad impressions
- $4.67: Playback-based CPM: $7 over 1,500 playbacks

*Source: YouTube Help, Understand ad revenue analytics.*

Notice what neither CPM shows: the creator's money. Both are before YouTube's share, and both ignore the 3,500 views in the example that showed no ad at all. RPM takes out YouTube's share and divides by all 5,000 views, which is why YouTube says RPM is usually lower than CPM. If a website quotes a CPM as if it were pay per 1,000 views, expect your real figure to be lower.

### Why so many views have no ad

YouTube says views often outnumber monetized playbacks because some views don't get an ad. It gives three kinds of reason: whether the video is advertiser-friendly, how advertisers have targeted their ads, and the characteristics of the viewer. That gap between views and monetized playbacks is one of the biggest things separating one channel's RPM from another's.

## How do I find my RPM in YouTube Studio?

YouTube's help page [Check your YouTube revenue](https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/9314488) gives these steps on a computer. You need to be earning through the Partner Program for revenue reports to appear.

1. **Sign in to YouTube Studio**: Use the account that manages the channel.
2. **Select Analytics**: It's in the left menu.
3. **Select Revenue**: It's in the top menu. This tab shows your estimated earnings for the last six months, month by month.
4. **Look at How you make money**: Revenue split by source, such as Watch Page Ads, Shorts Feed Ads, Memberships and Supers.
5. **Look at Content performance**: Earnings for videos, Shorts and live streams, including RPM, and which content earned the most.

YouTube Studio: Analytics › Revenue › Content performance

*From YouTube Help: Check your YouTube revenue (computer).*

The same page says revenue shows up in Analytics after about two days, and that estimates are adjusted twice: after about a week, and again in the middle of the following month. Final figures appear only in your AdSense for YouTube account. So treat yesterday's RPM as provisional, and judge it over a full month. The help page doesn't give steps for the YouTube Studio app, so the computer path above is the documented one.

### The numbers next to RPM

The Revenue tab shows several figures that are easy to mix up. YouTube's analytics page separates them. Estimated revenue covers every revenue type on the Revenue tab, while estimated ad revenue, in the revenue sources report, covers ads only. Views are plays of your videos, ad impressions are individual ads shown, and estimated monetized playbacks are views that included at least one ad. If your RPM looks low, compare views with monetized playbacks first: a large gap means many of your views showed no ad.

### Estimating what one video will earn

Your channel RPM is an average across every video, so it's a starting point for any single upload rather than a promise. Use the RPM for the matching format, over a full month, and then think about what makes this video different from your usual ones: its length, its audience's country and the time of year.

1. Open Analytics, then Revenue, in YouTube Studio
2. Note the RPM for the same format over the last full month
3. Divide the expected views by 1,000
4. Multiply by that RPM
5. Adjust for length, audience country and season

*The formula behind the YouTube money calculator: views divided by 1,000, times RPM.*

## How much of the money does YouTube give creators?

The revenue shares are set by modules of the partner agreement, which you accept in YouTube Studio. YouTube's earnings overview lists them.

| Revenue | Agreement module | Creator's share |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Ads on long-form videos' watch pages, including when played in YouTube's player on other sites | Watch Page Monetization Module | 55% of net revenue |
| Shorts Feed ads | Shorts Monetization Module | 45% of the revenue allocated to you from the Creator Pool |
| Channel memberships, Super Chat, Super Stickers, Super Thanks | Commerce Product Module | 70% of net revenue |
| YouTube Premium, long-form | Paid from a Premium pool | 55% of your allocation |
| YouTube Premium, Shorts | Paid from a Premium pool | 45% of your allocation |

The earnings overview adds that transaction taxes such as sales tax and VAT aren't counted as revenue, so the percentages apply after those come out. The Premium figures come from YouTube's [August 10, 2026 blog post](https://blog.youtube/news-and-events/youtube-partner-program-updates-2027-new-opportunities-earn/) on Partner Program changes: 30% of net Premium subscription revenue and 60% of net Premium Lite revenue go into creator pools, shared out by members' watch time and views, and creators then receive 55% for long-form and 45% for Shorts. The same post says that, based on 2026 performance, partners on average earn more when a viewer subscribes to Premium than when that viewer watches ads.

> YouTube's [Changes to the YouTube Partner Program](https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/12843009) page says Premium Lite expands to every country where Premium is available from February 1, 2027, and that Premium Lite earnings show up in the standard YouTube Premium metrics in Analytics.

## How does YouTube pay for Shorts?

Shorts don't have ads attached to individual videos the way long-form videos do. Ads run between Shorts in the feed, so YouTube pools the money and shares it out. Its [Shorts monetization policies](https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/12504220) set out four steps.

1. Ad revenue from between Shorts in the feed is pooled each month
2. Each Short's share is split by music: none goes all to creators, one track half, two tracks a third
3. The Creator Pool is shared by each creator's portion of engaged views, country by country
4. Creators keep 45% of their allocation, with or without music

*From YouTube Help: YouTube Shorts monetization policies.*

### YouTube's Shorts example

YouTube gives a made-up example. In one country, Shorts get 100 million engaged views and bring in $100,000 of Shorts Feed ad revenue. Because 20% of those Shorts use one music track, $10,000 goes to music licensing and the Creator Pool is $90,000. A creator whose Short got 1 million engaged views has 1% of the views, so they're allocated $900, and keep 45% of it: $405. That works out to about $0.41 per 1,000 engaged views in this invented country, but real pools change by country and month and YouTube doesn't publish them.

### Views that don't count

Not every engaged view earns a share. YouTube excludes views of non-original Shorts, such as unedited clips of other people's content, reuploads and compilations with nothing original added; artificial views, such as from bots; and views of Shorts that don't meet its advertiser-friendly content guidelines. Shorts longer than one minute that contain claimed content are blocked and can't be monetized. Views from before you accepted the Shorts Monetization Module don't count either. If you make Shorts from your own long videos, the guide to [clipping a YouTube video](/blog/how-to-clip-a-youtube-video) covers YouTube's own tools.

### Premium money on Shorts

Shorts also earn from YouTube Premium. The Shorts policies page says YouTube pays 45% of the net Premium revenue, including Premium Lite, that's allocated to monetizing creators for Shorts, with part of that Premium revenue going toward music licensing. Each creator's share is based on their portion of subscription Shorts views in each country, so Premium viewers count separately from the ad-funded Creator Pool.

### What changes for Shorts in 2027

From February 1, 2027, the Shorts policies page says a channel needs at least 10 million qualified Shorts views in the last 90 days to share in Shorts ad and Premium revenue for a given month, counted over the 90 days ending on the 15th of the month before. Falling short doesn't remove a channel from the Partner Program or touch its long-form earnings, according to the changes page. From the same date, ads targeted at five or fewer channels can earn creators a 45% direct share on top of the Creator Pool.

## Why does YouTube pay some channels more per 1,000 views?

Two channels with the same views can earn very different amounts. YouTube's help pages name the causes, and most come back to how much advertisers pay for your viewers and how many of your views carry an ad.

### Where your viewers are

YouTube says ad competition differs from place to place, so CPMs vary by geography. A channel watched mostly in countries where advertisers compete hard for attention earns more per view than the same channel watched elsewhere. Shorts are allocated country by country too, so the country mix matters for both formats.

### Time of year

Advertisers' bids rise and fall with the seasons, and YouTube notes that many bid higher just before holidays. Expect your RPM to move across the year even if nothing about your channel changes, and compare a month with the same month last year rather than with the month before.

### Ad formats and mid-rolls

Different ad formats have different CPMs, and YouTube says CPM may rise when more non-skippable ads are available. Its [advertising formats page](https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/2467968) lists skippable ads, which viewers can skip after 5 seconds; non-skippable ads of 15 or 20 seconds depending on regional standards; and bumpers of up to 6 seconds. Length matters as well. YouTube's page on [mid-roll ad breaks](https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/6175006) says mid-rolls can be turned on for monetized videos 8 minutes or longer, and the formats page says two ads can run back to back on long-form videos at least 5 minutes long. A 4-minute video has fewer chances to show ads than a 12-minute one.

### How many of your views are monetized

Because RPM divides by all views, anything that adds views without ads pulls it down. YouTube's analytics page says RPM can drop when unmonetized views increase, even if revenue stays the same. Videos that aren't advertiser-friendly, ad targeting that skips some viewers, and the characteristics of the people watching all change how many of your views carry an ad.

### Income beyond ads

Memberships, Super Chat and Super Stickers count in RPM, and creators keep 70% of those. A channel with an active membership base can have a much higher RPM than a similar channel that relies on ads alone.

**Tends to raise RPM**
- Viewers in competitive ad markets
- The weeks before major holidays
- Videos 8 minutes or longer with mid-rolls on
- Memberships and Super Chat

**Tends to lower RPM**
- Many views with no ad shown
- Content that isn't advertiser-friendly
- Short long-form videos with fewer ad slots
- Ineligible Shorts views, such as reuploads

*Based on YouTube Help's pages on ad revenue analytics, mid-roll ads, ad formats and Shorts monetization.*

## Is there an average YouTube RPM?

Not one that YouTube publishes. Its help pages explain RPM and CPM in detail, and its blog shares totals like the number of creators in the program, more than 3 million according to the August 2026 post, but none of them give a typical rate per 1,000 views. Any average you find elsewhere comes from a particular set of channels in particular countries and months, and the earnings overview's warning still applies: there are no guarantees about how much you'll be paid.

That's why the money calculator on this site asks for your own RPM rather than filling one in. If you're not in the Partner Program yet and have no RPM, the honest answer is that you won't know your rate until you have a few months of revenue data. Compare yourself with your own past months, not with a number from someone else's channel.

A simple habit makes that comparison easy. At the end of each month, once the second adjustment has landed, write down four numbers from the Revenue tab: estimated revenue, views, RPM for long-form and RPM for Shorts. After a year you'll have your own seasonal pattern, which is a far better guide to next December than any average.

## Worked examples

These use invented numbers to show how the parts fit together. None of them is a prediction of what a real channel earns.

### A long-form channel

Say a channel's Revenue tab shows an RPM of $4 over the last 28 days and the channel gets 250,000 long-form views a month. The estimate is 250,000 divided by 1,000, times $4: about $1,000 for the month. If the next video is a 6-minute upload with no mid-rolls, or most of its views come from a country the channel doesn't usually reach, the real figure for that video can land well away from what the channel average suggests.

### The same revenue, a lower RPM

YouTube's point that RPM can fall while revenue holds steady is easiest to see in a table. Imagine a month where a channel earns $500.

| Scenario | Revenue | Views | RPM |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Normal month | $500 | 100,000 | $5.00 |
| One video goes viral, mostly without ads | $500 | 200,000 | $2.50 |
| Viral views earn a little | $560 | 200,000 | $2.80 |

The channel didn't get paid less in the second row. It earned the same and got more views. A lower RPM isn't automatically bad news, which is why it's worth checking estimated revenue next to RPM before drawing conclusions.

### A channel posting both

A channel with 300,000 long-form views at an example RPM of $3 and 2 million Shorts views at an example RPM of $0.05 earns about $900 from long-form and $100 from Shorts. Blended, that's $1,000 over 2.3 million views, an RPM of about $0.43, which tells you little about either format. Read the two separately in Content performance.

## How many views do you need before YouTube pays anything?

Views alone don't earn anything until the channel is in the YouTube Partner Program, and ad revenue needs the full tier. YouTube's [YPP overview](https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/72851) and [expanded YPP page](https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/13429240) give the current thresholds.

| Tier | Requirements | What it unlocks |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Fan funding and Shopping | 500 subscribers, 3 valid public uploads in the last 90 days, and either 3,000 qualified watch hours in 12 months or 3 million qualified Shorts views in 90 days | Channel memberships, Super Chat, Super Stickers, Super Thanks, Jewels and gifts, Shopping |
| Full YPP | 1,000 subscribers and either 4,000 qualified watch hours in 12 months or 10 million qualified Shorts views in 90 days | Ad and YouTube Premium revenue sharing |
| Full YPP for new applicants from February 1, 2027 | 1,000 subscribers and either 8,000 watch hours in 365 days or 20 million Shorts views in 90 days | Ad and YouTube Premium revenue sharing |

Watch hours from Shorts in the Shorts Feed don't count toward the 4,000 hours. The overview also requires that you live where the program is available, have no active Community Guidelines strikes, turn on 2-Step Verification, have advanced features on YouTube, follow the channel monetization policies and link an AdSense for YouTube account. YouTube reviews each channel and says a decision typically takes about a month.

Channels already in the program aren't affected by the higher 2027 entry thresholds, but YouTube says partners need to accept the updated terms in Studio by January 31, 2027 to keep earning from the affected features. From February 1, 2027 there's also an activity rule: the changes page counts a channel as active with 1,000 qualified watch hours in the past 365 days, 1 million qualified Shorts views in the last 90 days, or 2 long-form videos or 5 Shorts uploaded every 90 days. The guide to [when YouTube starts paying you](/blog/when-does-youtube-start-paying-you) covers the application and review in full.

## When and how does YouTube pay you?

Earnings move through a fixed monthly cycle. YouTube's earnings overview gives the dates, and its [revenue thresholds page](https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/14727140) gives the amounts.

- During the month: Estimated revenue appears in Analytics after about two days
- About a week later: Estimates are adjusted for the first time
- Mid next month: Estimates are adjusted again
- 7th to 12th of next month: Finalized earnings are added to your AdSense for YouTube balance
- 21st to 26th: Payment goes out if your balance meets the threshold and there are no holds

*From YouTube Help: YouTube partner earnings overview and Check your YouTube revenue.*

### The payment threshold

You're paid once your balance reaches the threshold for your currency: $100 for US dollars, €70 for euros, £60 for pounds, C$100 for Canadian dollars and A$100 for Australian dollars, among others on YouTube's list. Below that, the balance carries over. Identity and address verification are required once earnings reach $10, or the equivalent in other currencies. Payment also needs no holds on the account, US tax info provided, and monetization that isn't suspended.

### US tax withholding

YouTube's earnings overview says Google withholds US tax on earnings from US viewers. Its [US tax requirements page](https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/10391362) says creators outside the US who submit tax info face rates between 0% and 30% on earnings from US viewers, depending on whether their country has a tax treaty with the US. Without tax info, individual accounts can face backup withholding of 24% on total worldwide earnings, and the page asks creators to submit tax info by December 10 each year. That's how the program works, not tax advice; your own country's taxes apply separately.

> For a full walk through the threshold table, holds and tax forms, the [1 million views guide](/blog/how-much-does-youtube-pay-for-1-million-views) has a worked tax example, and the [when YouTube starts paying you](/blog/when-does-youtube-start-paying-you) guide covers AdSense for YouTube setup step by step.

## How can I earn more per 1,000 views?

YouTube's analytics page gives three direct suggestions: turn on monetization for all your videos, turn on mid-roll ads, and turn on other revenue features such as memberships and Super Chat, each of which has its own requirements. The rest follows from what moves RPM.

- Make long-form videos that run 8 minutes or longer when the topic supports it, so mid-rolls are available. YouTube's mid-roll page says breaks placed at natural pauses are more likely to serve ads than ones placed mid-sentence.
- Keep content advertiser-friendly, since views on videos that don't meet the guidelines show fewer ads and Shorts that don't meet them earn no pool share.
- Make original Shorts. Reuploads and unedited clips don't earn from the Creator Pool.
- Build fan funding. Creators keep 70% of memberships and Supers, and they count in RPM.
- Upload on a schedule. From 2027 the activity rule counts a channel as active with 2 long-form videos or 5 Shorts every 90 days, or steady viewing.

**A monthly RPM check**
- [ ] Monetization is on for every eligible video
- [ ] Mid-rolls are on for videos 8 minutes or longer
- [ ] Long-form and Shorts RPM are read separately
- [ ] This month is compared with the same month last year
- [ ] Revenue sources show which features earn
- [ ] Updated YPP terms are accepted before January 31, 2027

*Based on YouTube Help's revenue, mid-roll and Partner Program pages.*

Packaging matters too, since more clicks from the right viewers raise both views and revenue. The [YouTube title checker](/tools/youtube-title-checker) checks a title against YouTube's limit, the [description counter](/tools/youtube-description-character-counter) checks descriptions, and the [thumbnail resizer](/tools/youtube-thumbnail-resizer) with the [thumbnail size guide](/blog/youtube-thumbnail-size) covers the image. For timing, see the [best time to post on YouTube](/blog/best-time-to-post-on-youtube), and to see how viewers react beyond views, the guides to [YouTube dislikes](/blog/how-to-see-dislikes-on-youtube) and [engagement rate](/blog/social-media-engagement-rate), with the [engagement rate calculator](/tools/engagement-rate-calculator), help.

If you publish on a schedule, PostMesh [uploads to YouTube](/platform/youtube) through the official YouTube API, marks vertical videos up to 3 minutes as Shorts, schedules up to 30 days ahead and shows views, likes and comments for the videos you send. The guide to [scheduling YouTube videos](/blog/how-to-schedule-youtube-videos) covers YouTube's own scheduler too, and plans are on the [pricing page](/pricing). If you also post to TikTok, its creator pay works differently; see [how much TikTok pays for 1 million views](/blog/how-much-does-tiktok-pay-for-1-million-views).

## Questions

### Does YouTube pay a set amount per view?

No. YouTube shares a percentage of revenue, and its earnings page says there are no guarantees about how much you'll be paid.

### What's a good RPM on YouTube?

YouTube doesn't publish a benchmark. Compare your RPM with your own previous months, ideally the same month a year earlier, since ad rates are seasonal.

### Is RPM the same as CPM?

No. CPM is what advertisers pay per 1,000 ad impressions before YouTube's share. RPM is what you earn per 1,000 views after it, across all views.

### Why did my RPM drop when my views went up?

RPM divides revenue by all views. If the extra views showed few ads, RPM falls even when revenue stays the same.

### Do Shorts pay less than long videos?

They're paid differently: from a shared pool by engaged views, with creators keeping 45% of their allocation, compared with 55% of watch page ad revenue on long-form.

### Do I get paid for views before joining YPP?

No. Ad and Premium revenue sharing starts once you're in the full YPP tier and have accepted the relevant modules.

### How long are videos for mid-roll ads?

YouTube's mid-roll page says monetized videos 8 minutes or longer can have mid-roll ad breaks.

### When does YouTube send the money?

Between the 21st and 26th of the month after earnings are finalized, if your balance meets the threshold, such as $100 in US dollars.

### Does YouTube take tax out of my earnings?

Google withholds US tax on earnings from US viewers. Creators outside the US with tax info face 0% to 30% depending on their country's treaty.

### Do Premium views pay?

Yes. YouTube pays creators from Premium pools by members' watch time and views: 55% of your allocation for long-form and 45% for Shorts.
