Why 1M Views Earns $2K or $30K — Same Count, Different Niche

High-CPM Example: Finance (US)

1M views × $15–30 RPM = $15,000 – $30,000. Financial advertisers pay premium rates because each viewer has high lifetime value.

Insurance, investing, and legal niches consistently top CPM charts.

Low-CPM Example: Gaming (Mixed)

1M views × $2–5 RPM = $2,000 – $5,000. Gaming advertisers bid less per impression, and global audiences dilute average CPM.

Volume matters more — gaming channels need higher view counts to match finance earnings.

YouTube Does Not Pay Per View — It Pays Per Monetized Playback

Only 55–65% of views actually serve ads. Ad blockers, non-monetized regions, and Shorts all reduce your effective RPM. That is why our calculator shows three tiers — low, average, and high — instead of one misleading number.

100K US finance viewers routinely out-earn 1M mixed-country gaming viewers. Audience quality beats raw view count every time.

The RPM Formula

Earnings = Views × RPM ÷ 1,000
Typical RPM range$1 – $30
Median (general)$3 – $7
Finance (US)$12 – $40
