Shorts RPM
Paste a public YouTube Shorts URL to estimate its earnings to date, or use manual mode with a view count and audience country. Results are RPM-based estimates, not confirmed revenue.
How the estimate works
Core formula
Shorts views ÷ 1,000 × RPM
Example: 1,000,000 views
$0.04–$0.15 RPM → $40–$150
Shorts RPM is a creator-side planning metric. Do not subtract YouTube’s revenue share again after applying it.
Ads run between videos in the Shorts Feed. YouTube pools that revenue and allocates it using eligible engaged views by country.
Audience country, eligible views, advertiser demand, music licensing, and the monthly Creator Pool can all change the effective rate.
Public views cannot reveal the exact payout. The creator can confirm estimated Shorts Feed revenue inside YouTube Analytics.
Clear answers
The calculator divides the Short’s views by 1,000 and multiplies that figure by an estimated Shorts RPM range. Automatic mode reads the public Short and channel data, while manual mode uses the views and audience country you enter.
YouTube pools revenue from ads shown between videos in the Shorts Feed, allocates the Creator Pool using eligible engaged views and music usage by country, then pays monetizing creators 45% of their allocated amount.
No. Public data does not reveal eligible engaged views, the creator’s actual Shorts RPM, music and rights adjustments, or private YouTube Analytics revenue. The result is an estimate for planning, not a confirmed payout.
There is no fixed rate. At a $0.04 Shorts RPM, one million views would estimate about $40; at a $0.15 RPM, the same views would estimate about $150. Viewer country, ad demand, eligibility, and the monthly Creator Pool can change the result.
No. A channel must be eligible for monetization and accept the Shorts Monetization Module. YouTube pays from eligible engaged views and excludes views that are artificial, non-original, or inconsistent with advertiser-friendly guidelines.
YouTube first accounts for music licensing while forming the Creator Pool. The monetizing creator then keeps 45% of the revenue allocated to their eligible Shorts views, regardless of whether music was used.
