What Is This Tool?
The YouTube Shorts Revenue Estimator turns your monthly Shorts views and RPM into a monthly and yearly earnings estimate. It is for creators in the YouTube Partner Program who post Shorts.
What Can You Do With It?
Estimate income from a Shorts-focused channel. See what 1 million Shorts views might earn at your RPM. Compare Shorts with long-form earnings.
How Does It Work?
Monthly revenue = views ÷ 1,000 × RPM. Yearly revenue = monthly × 12. Per 1 million views = RPM × 1,000.
Key Benefits
Simple two-field estimate. Uses RPM, which you can copy directly from YouTube Studio. Instant results with no sign-up.
Limitations and Important Notes
Shorts RPM often falls between about $0.02 and $0.20 and depends heavily on viewer countries. Only views counted as engaged views in the revenue pool earn money.
Privacy and Security
The numbers you enter in the YouTube Shorts Revenue Estimator (shorts views per month, shorts rpm and so on) are calculated in your browser. They are not sent to or saved on Usekit servers, and they disappear when you close the page.
Real-World Example
Inputs: Shorts views per month = 1,000,000; Shorts RPM = 0.06. Results: Monthly revenue = $60.00; Yearly revenue = $720.00; Per 1 million views = $60.00.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where do I find my Shorts RPM?
In YouTube Studio, open Analytics → Revenue and filter by Shorts.
Why do Shorts earn less than long videos?
Shorts revenue is pooled and shared across creators and music licensing, so the per-view rate is usually much lower.
Is the result guaranteed?
No. It is an estimate based on the RPM you enter.
