How YouTube RPM Is Calculated?
YouTube RPM is the amount you earn per 1,000 total views.
- Niche / Category – Finance, business and technology generally have higher RPM.
- Audience Geography – Viewers from premium ad markets usually generate higher RPM.
- Content Type – Long-form videos usually earn more per 1,000 views than Shorts.
- Monetized Views – Not every view receives an ad, so eligible-view share matters.
- Video Length – Videos over eight minutes can use mid-roll ads.
- Seasonality – Advertiser demand is often strongest during Q4.
