- What is RPM on YouTube?
- RPM (revenue per mille) is how much you actually earn per 1,000 views across all revenue sources, after YouTube's cut. Unlike CPM — what advertisers pay per 1,000 ad impressions — RPM reflects the money that reaches you. This tool shows your real RPM from the authenticated YouTube Analytics API, not an estimate from public data.
- How is this different from a YouTube revenue calculator?
- Calculators multiply your view count by an assumed CPM for your niche — a guess. This tool connects your channel and reads your actual estimated revenue and views from YouTube Analytics for the last 28 days, then computes your true RPM. No assumptions.
- Is it safe to connect my channel?
- Yes. The tool requests read-only access to your YouTube Analytics. It never posts, edits, or deletes anything on your channel, and it does not store your revenue figures.
- Why don't I see an RPM after connecting?
- If your channel isn't in the YouTube Partner Program yet, or had no ad revenue in the last 28 days, there is no real RPM to show. We show an honest empty state rather than a misleading $0.
