YouTube Shorts Revenue Calculator

Enter the total number of monetized Shorts views for the period you want to estimate.

Your average revenue per 1,000 Shorts views. Use your YouTube Analytics RPM if available.

How This Calculator Works

This calculator estimates revenue from YouTube Shorts using your Shorts views and an RPM (revenue per 1,000 views). Shorts RPM is typically lower than long-form video due to different ad products and watch time.

Example Calculation

2,000,000 Shorts views ÷ 1,000 × $0.50 RPM = $1,000 estimated revenue

Formula

Revenue = (Shorts Views ÷ 1,000) × RPM

FAQs

Why is Shorts RPM lower than long-form?

Shorts use a different revenue pool and ad format; watch time per view is shorter, so RPM is often $0.05–$2 compared to $2–$15+ for long-form in many niches.

Do all Shorts views count for revenue?

Only monetized views in the Shorts feed count. You must be in the YouTube Partner Program and have Shorts monetization enabled.
