A free, no-signup tool helping YouTube creators estimate AdSense revenue per video, broken down by niche, audience country, and video format using real 2026 CPM benchmarks.
Most YouTube earnings calculators give a flat, misleading estimate. CPM varies wildly: a finance video reaching a US audience can earn 50 times more per view than a gaming video watched in Southeast Asia. We built this tool to give creators a more honest, nuanced estimate that accounts for niche, audience geography, and video format.
The reverse calculator came from a simple observation: most creators are working backwards from a target income, not forward from a view count. That question deserves a direct answer.
All estimates are based on aggregated RPM benchmarks from 2026 creator-economy reports. We surface RPM rather than CPM because RPM is what you actually take home after YouTube's cut.
Finance and B2B niches command $12 to $35 RPM. Gaming and entertainment typically earn $1.50 to $7. We use niche-specific ranges, not misleading averages.
A US audience pays roughly 8 times more in ad rates than a South Asian audience for the same content. We apply per-country multipliers to reflect this accurately.
Shorts monetise through a pooled fund, earning 90% or more less per view than long-form videos with mid-roll ads. We model this difference explicitly.
These are estimates, not guarantees. For your real numbers, check YouTube Studio, Analytics, Revenue. This tool is for planning and curiosity, not financial forecasting.
