How to use this calculator

Measure revenue and profit per 1,000 views, historical RPM change, target gap, and the annual value of improved monetization. Enter the values for one consistent reporting period and select Calculate.

What the result means

Gross RPM measures revenue per 1,000 views. Net RPM removes platform deductions, and profit RPM also removes production costs.

Gross RPM = revenue ÷ views × 1,000. Net RPM = net revenue ÷ views × 1,000.

RPM is creator revenue per 1,000 views and is not the same as advertiser CPM.

Example calculation

With $5,000 revenue from 1,000,000 views, gross RPM is $5. After $600 of deductions, net RPM is $4.40.

Tips for better results

  • Compare equal reporting periods.
  • Track profit RPM, not gross RPM alone.
  • Separate organic and paid views.
  • Review RPM by content type.
  • Investigate declining RPM before scaling output.

How much money does a $10 RPM generate?

$10 per 1,000 views, or $10,000 per one million views.

How do I calculate profit RPM?
