How YouTube earnings are estimated

Long-form
views ÷ 1,000 × RPM
RPM is what you keep per 1,000 views after YouTube's share. Most creators see ฿34–฿170; education and finance can be much higher.
Shorts
Shorts views ÷ 1,000 × Shorts RPM
Shorts ad revenue is pooled and creators keep 45% of their allocation. That works out to about ฿2–฿7 per 1,000 views in most niches.
