Free tool
One number for ads + affiliates + sponsorships.
Enter views for one video, a group of videos, or a time period - just use the same period for every stream below.
Ad revenue
Use your actual RPM from YouTube Analytics for the most accurate estimate, or calculate your RPM →
Affiliate revenue
Percentage of viewers who click your affiliate links.
Percentage of link clicks that result in a purchase.
Average commission earned per conversion.
Estimated affiliate revenue = views × link CTR × conversion rate × average commission. See the link revenue calculator or CTR calculator to work out either input on its own.
Sponsorship
This is a general industry estimate based on your reach and engagement - actual brand rates vary. Need a more detailed estimate? Use the sponsorship rate calculator →
Other income
Add any other revenue for the same period as your views above.
Ad and affiliate at other view counts
| Views | Ad + affiliate |
|---|---|
| 10,000 | $220 |
| 100,000 | $2,200 |
| 1,000,000 | $22,000 |
Sponsorship and other income stay at the amounts for the views you entered.
Estimate only - actual earnings vary by audience, niche, RPM, conversion rate, sponsorship terms, and other factors. Combines the same formulas as our standalone RPM, Revenue, and Sponsorship calculators - general industry estimates, not real GoloLink data. Uncheck any stream you don't have to exclude it. Ad and affiliate revenue grow with views. Sponsorship is one deal for the views you entered, and other income is a flat amount for that period. Sponsorship uses your views as a proxy for average views; use the sponsorship calculator directly for a subscriber-aware estimate.
Estimates are useful. Per-video click data is how you decide what to make next.
Creator income isn't one number - this calculator estimates each revenue source separately, then combines them.
Views ÷ 1,000 × RPM - see the RPM calculator to calculate your own RPM.
Views × link CTR × conversion rate × average commission - see the link revenue calculator and CTR calculator.
Estimated from your reach and engagement against typical niche rates - see the sponsorship rate calculator for a subscriber-aware estimate.
Whatever you enter directly - memberships, merch, Patreon, courses, services.
Total estimated earnings = ad revenue + affiliate revenue + sponsorship + other income
There's no single fixed amount YouTube pays per view. Earnings depend on RPM, viewer location, niche, advertiser demand, monetized views, seasonality, video format, and audience. 100,000 views doesn't automatically equal a fixed amount of money - two channels with identical view counts can earn very different amounts. This calculator lets you model your own assumptions instead of relying on one universal number.
For many established creators, affiliate and sponsorship income can become an important part of total creator revenue - not just a supplement to ad revenue.
Results depend entirely on your own assumptions, not a fixed formula. Example scenario at a $5 RPM, ad revenue only:
Total creator income can be substantially higher once affiliate and sponsorship revenue are included - see the calculator's own scenario comparison above, or use the RPM calculator to dial in your own ad-revenue number.
Shorts and long-form video use different monetization mechanics and generally have very different revenue characteristics - Shorts RPM is typically a small fraction of long-form RPM. Use your own analytics for either format rather than a universal number; see the RPM calculator to compare the two directly.
