How to use this calculator

Evaluate advertising value from both advertiser and creator perspectives using impressions, revenue share, fill rate, and viewability. Enter the values for one consistent reporting period and select Calculate.

What the result means

Gross CPM is advertising revenue per 1,000 impressions. Creator CPM applies the selected revenue share.

Gross CPM = ad revenue ÷ impressions × 1,000. Creator CPM = gross CPM × creator share.

CPM is advertising value per 1,000 ad impressions, not total creator RPM.

Example calculation

With $8,000 from 2,000,000 impressions, gross CPM is $4. At a 55% share, creator CPM is $2.20.

Tips for better results

  • Track fill rate and viewability separately.
  • Compare the same ad format.
  • Do not confuse CPM with RPM.
  • Measure unfilled inventory loss.
  • Use viewable CPM for quality analysis.

FAQ

CPM measures ad value per 1,000 ad impressions; RPM measures creator revenue per 1,000 content views.

What CPM is considered high?

It varies by niche, geography, season, format, and advertiser demand.

How does fill rate affect creator revenue?

Lower fill rate means fewer impressions receive ads.

How do I calculate viewable CPM?

How much creator revenue comes from a $5 CPM?

Multiply impressions by $5, divide by 1,000, then apply the revenue share.
