YouTube RPM by niche
Your niche decides your income more than your view count does. Compare estimated RPM (what you keep per 1,000 views) across niches and audience countries — so you pick a topic that actually pays.
How to use
- Pick an audience country.
- Scan the niches from highest to lowest RPM.
- Open the money calculator to turn RPM into a revenue estimate for your views.
Questions
Are these exact YouTube numbers?
No. They are TubeMind estimates from a public RPM table by niche and country, shown as a guide. Real RPM swings with season, format and audience — treat these as relative, not absolute.
What is RPM vs CPM?
CPM is what advertisers pay per 1,000 ad impressions; RPM is what the creator keeps per 1,000 video views after YouTube’s cut and un-monetized views. RPM predicts income.
