Turn views and RPM into an ad-revenue estimate - Shorts or long-form.
Use your actual RPM from YouTube Analytics for the most accurate estimate.

RPM suggestions are general USD benchmarks by country, niche, and format. Changing any of them updates the RPM field automatically; edit it afterward to match the USD figure in YouTube Analytics.
RPM estimates ad revenue. GoloLink shows which videos drive clicks on the products and affiliate links you promote.
10,000 views × $5 RPM = $50. 100,000 views × $5 RPM = $500. 1,000,000 views × $5 RPM = $5,000. These are illustrative examples, not guaranteed payouts - your actual RPM is what determines your real revenue.
Country, niche, and format just auto-fill a typical starting RPM - the calculation always uses whatever number is in the RPM field, so overwrite it with your own real USD figure from YouTube Analytics at any time.
Benchmark values here are general estimates, not precise figures - RPM varies widely even within the same country or niche.
The calculator's country selector covers 20 markets, including the US, UK, Canada, India, and more - pick one to auto-fill a starting RPM, then overwrite it with your own number. These are general benchmarks, not exact per-country payouts.
Shorts use a different monetization model from long-form video - revenue comes from a separate ad pool split across a much larger volume of short-form watch time. That typically means Shorts generate substantially less revenue per 1,000 views than most long-form content, not just "somewhat less." Select "Shorts" as the format above to see the calculator's separate estimate.
CPM is what advertisers pay per 1,000 ad impressions. RPM is what you, the creator, actually receive per 1,000 views, after YouTube's revenue share and other factors are already taken out. RPM is always lower than CPM, and it's the number that matters for estimating your own take-home revenue.
This calculator estimates YouTube ad revenue specifically. Many creators also earn from affiliate links, sponsorships, products, courses, memberships, and services. Use the earnings calculator to combine ad revenue with affiliate and sponsorship income into one estimate, or estimate a sponsorship rate and calculate affiliate commission separately.
