1. What is Channel Earnings?

Channel Earnings represent the total estimated revenue a YouTube channel generates based on view count and advertising rates. It's calculated by multiplying total views by the average revenue per mille (RPM).

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the Channel Earnings formula:

Where:

• Total Views — The sum of all views on the channel
• Average RPM — Revenue per 1000 views (USD)

Explanation: RPM represents how much money you make per 1000 views after YouTube's cut. The actual earnings are calculated by dividing the product of views and RPM by 1000.

3. Importance of RPM in Earnings

Details: RPM is a crucial metric that varies by niche, audience demographics, and content type. Higher RPM values indicate more valuable audiences to advertisers.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter total views as a whole number and average RPM in USD. Both values must be positive numbers for accurate calculation.
