RPM Benchmarks — How much do YouTube niches actually pay?

RPM (Revenue Per Mille) is what a creator earns per 1,000 views after YouTube's cut. These are real-world averages — your results vary by audience country and engagement.

  • Finance & Investing: $12 – $45
  • Business & Marketing: $10 – $30
  • Education & How-To: $5 – $18
  • Technology: $4 – $15
  • Entertainment: $2 – $8
  • Gaming: $1.5 – $6
  • Music: $1 – $4
  • Shorts / Kids: $0.05 – $1

RPM ranges reflect US/UK/AU audiences. Tier-2 and Tier-3 countries typically earn 60–90% less.

Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate are the revenue estimates? Our estimates use real RPM data segmented by country, content category, and video duration. Results are a realistic range — actual earnings depend on ad fill rate, audience retention, and whether the channel is fully monetized.

What's the difference between RPM and CPM? CPM is what advertisers pay per 1,000 ad impressions. RPM is what the creator actually receives after YouTube takes its 45% cut and accounting for skipped ads. We always use RPM — the number that matters to you.

Can I check a specific video's earnings? Yes — paste any YouTube video URL and we calculate that video's estimated revenue based on its actual view count, duration, category, and the channel's detected primary audience country.

Why do I see a range instead of a single number? Ad rates fluctuate daily and vary by viewer, device, and season. A range (min–max) is more honest than a false-precision single number. Q4 earnings are typically 30–50% higher than Q1 due to advertiser spending cycles.

Does this work for channels in any country? Yes. We support 190+ countries and automatically detect the channel's primary audience geography to apply the correct RPM benchmark. You can also manually override the country.
