How do you calculate YouTube earnings?

Divide monthly views by 1,000, then multiply by creator RPM. Your actual YouTube Studio revenue is the source of truth.

RPM is creator revenue per 1,000 total views after YouTube's revenue share. Use your own YouTube Studio RPM for the most relevant estimate.

Does this include Shorts or music royalties?

No. Shorts use different revenue mechanics. Distributor royalties, publishing royalties, and sponsorships are separate.
