How the estimate works
RPM, revenue per mille, is what a creator receives for every 1,000 views after YouTube's share, counting all views including those without ads. Earnings are views ÷ 1,000 × RPM. The ranges for each channel type are typical figures creators report, and RPM rises with viewers in the US, UK and other high-advertising markets.
Your own RPM is in YouTube Studio under Analytics, then Revenue, once your channel is in the YouTube Partner Program. Enter it for an estimate that matches your channel. Shorts earn from a shared pool, so their RPM is much lower than long videos.

Questions
How much does YouTube pay per 1,000 views?
Most long-form channels see an RPM between about $1 and $10, and finance and business channels often more. Shorts usually pay a few cents per 1,000 views.
What is the difference between CPM and RPM?
CPM is what advertisers pay per 1,000 ad impressions. RPM is what you receive per 1,000 views after YouTube's share, so it is the number to use for earnings.
When can a channel earn money?
After joining the YouTube Partner Program, which needs 1,000 subscribers plus 4,000 public watch hours in a year or 10 million Shorts views in 90 days.
Why is my RPM lower than the range?
RPM depends on your audience's countries, the season and how many views show ads. Use your real RPM from YouTube Studio for your own estimate.
