Estimated ad earnings per month
What RPM means
RPM is what you actually keep for every 1,000 views, after YouTube takes its share. CPM is different: it's what advertisers pay, before that cut. If you want to predict your income, RPM is the number to use.
Earnings = (views ÷ 1,000) × RPM. So 100,000 views at an RPM of ₹40 is about ₹4,000.
Why the answer is a range
RPM depends on your topic, where your viewers live, the time of year, and whether they watch long videos or Shorts. Finance and business channels usually earn more per view than entertainment. Viewers in the US usually earn more than viewers in India. The example numbers here are only a starting point.
Your real RPM is in YouTube Studio, under Analytics and then Revenue, once your channel is monetized.
Before you can earn from ads
You need to join the YouTube Partner Program first. Check YouTube's current requirements, because they change. Many small channels also earn more from their own products and services than from ads, so an audience is worth building even before the ad money starts.
