Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between Ad RPM and Total RPM?
Ad RPM is revenue from advertising per 1,000 views. Total RPM (the figure YouTube shows in Analytics) also includes YouTube Premium, channel memberships, Super Chat/Stickers and Shopping, so it is usually higher. Pick the mode that matches the RPM you are entering.
Why is Shorts RPM so much lower?
Shorts are monetised from a shared ad pool and typically earn far less per 1,000 views than long-form — often around bash.05–bash.15 RPM versus – for long-form.
Why show low, average and high?
RPM swings with niche, audience country and season. Showing a range around your figure gives a more honest picture than a single number.
Are these figures guaranteed?
No — they are estimates. Actual earnings depend on your niche, audience location, watch time, season and YouTube policy.
