How it works
RPM vs CPM
CPM is what advertisers pay per 1,000 ad impressions. RPM is what you actually earn per 1,000 views after YouTube's share and views without ads — it's the number to use.
What drives RPM
Viewer country, niche and season. Finance and tech audiences in high-income countries pay the most; ad rates peak in Q4 before the holidays.
