How are estimated earnings calculated?

On some platforms such as YouTube we show something called Estimated Earnings. Estimated earnings are just that, estimated. We take a low RPM value ($0.25 USD) and a high RPM value ($4.00 USD), which are numbers that we have found to be average worldwide, and then we multiply them by the number of views the channel gets per day divided by 1000. (RPM is Revenue per 1000 views.) This assumes that every view on the channel is monetized, which is usually not the case. It is entirely possible NO views are monetized, or views come from a lower monetized medium such as shorts.

The number isn't supposed to be read as religion but to give you a general feeling of what a profile might be earning if the channel is monetized.

Also note, you can adjust the RPM uses for this calculation for your view in your settings.
