The prompt above runs the same job from your own looot account with current data, billed per call. ## Plan a channel See what a view target means in money before you commit to a posting schedule. ## Set a goal Work back from the monthly income you want to the views you need at your RPM. ## Size a sponsor pitch Compare what a sponsor offers with what the same views earn from ads. ## Agent research Let your agent pull public view counts for a list of channels and apply your RPM range. ## How much does YouTube pay per 1,000 views? It depends on the channel. YouTube reports it as RPM, your revenue per 1,000 views after YouTube's share, in YouTube Studio under Analytics, then Revenue. Niche, audience country, season and video length all move it, so this page uses your own number instead of an average. ## How is the estimate worked out? Monthly views divided by 1,000, times RPM. The page does it for the low and the high end of your range, multiplies by 12 for a year and divides by your videos per month for a per video figure. ## Why are the RPM fields filled in already? They hold example values so the page shows a result when it loads. They are not an average or a benchmark. Replace them with the RPM from your own YouTube Studio. ## What is the difference between RPM and CPM? CPM is what advertisers pay per 1,000 ad impressions, before YouTube's share. RPM is what you earn per 1,000 views, after YouTube's share and counting views that showed no ad. RPM is the one to use for earnings. ## Do I need to be in the YouTube Partner Program? Yes, to earn ad revenue. YouTube lists the current requirements in its help center. Until you join, the estimate is a what-if. ## Does it include Shorts, sponsors and memberships? It covers what your RPM covers. Shorts have their own RPM in Studio, so run Shorts views with that RPM on their own. Sponsors, memberships, Super Thanks and Shopping are not in the estimate. ## Can I estimate another channel's earnings? Only as a guess. The YouTube channel stats tool linked below shows the public views of any channel, but its RPM is private, so any figure for someone else's channel rests on your RPM range. ## Is it free? Yes. It runs in your browser with no account, no limit and no API call. ## How do I run this from an agent? Copy the prompt above into your agent with the looot skill.md link. It reads each channel's public numbers through a catalog endpoint and applies your RPM range. ## Related tools - /free-tools/youtube-channel-stats - /free-tools/youtube-tag-extractor - /free-tools/youtube-title-generator - /free-tools/tiktok-money-calculator ## Last reviewed 2026-10-14. ## Agent skill for this page https://looot.ai/free-tools/youtube-money-calculator/skill.md sets an agent up for exactly the jobs on this page, with the live price of each, and offers the page's starter task once the user has picked a job and seen the price.
