What are those views worth?

Creators are paid per thousand monetised views, and the figure that matters is RPM — revenue per mille after YouTube's 45% cut. It ranges from under a dollar to more than fifteen depending on niche and audience location.

Frequently asked questions

What is RPM on YouTube?

Revenue per 1,000 views after YouTube's share. It's lower than CPM, which is what advertisers pay before the split.

Why is only part of my views monetised?

Some viewers use ad blockers, watch on devices without ads, or watch videos that aren't eligible, so typically 40–70% of views earn.

Are Shorts paid the same?

No. Shorts revenue comes from a shared pool and usually works out far lower per view than long videos.
