How much money do your views make?
Estimate how much your views are worth across YouTube, TikTok, and Reels.
RPMs are platform averages and vary by niche, season, and audience location. Enter your real RPM above for an exact figure.
How the creator money calculator works
Enter your view count and platform, and we multiply your views (in thousands) by that platform's typical RPM, the revenue you keep per 1,000 views, to estimate your earnings. You can override the rate with your own number from your analytics for an exact figure.
RPMs differ dramatically across platforms. YouTube long-form pays far more per view than Shorts, TikTok, or Reels, because long-form runs more and higher-value ads. That's why many creators post short clips to build reach, then funnel that audience toward longer, better-monetized content.
Because payouts scale directly with views, the creators who earn the most are usually the ones who publish the most. Crayo helps you multiply your earning surface area by turning one long video into many shorts across every platform at once.
Frequently asked questions
- How much money is 1 million views worth?
- It depends entirely on the platform and RPM. At a $0.05 Shorts RPM, 1 million views is about $50; at a $4 long-form RPM it's around $4,000. Select your platform above to see an estimate.
- What is RPM and how is it different from CPM?
- CPM is what advertisers pay per 1,000 impressions; RPM is what you actually keep per 1,000 views after the platform's cut. RPM is the more accurate number for estimating real creator earnings.
- Why does YouTube pay more than TikTok per view?
- YouTube long-form shows more ads per view and shares ad revenue directly, while TikTok and Shorts pay from pooled creator funds that spread payouts across far more videos, resulting in much lower per-view rates.
