What is a creator earnings estimator?

Different niches have wildly different CPMs — finance is 5–10x gaming.

How This Is Calculated
- YouTube AdSense: views × CPM × 0.55 (creator share) × (view duration / 50%) ÷ 1000. View duration penalises low-retention content.
- TikTok: Creator Fund pays roughly $0.025 / 1k views. Shop commission applies to monthly GMV.
- Reels: Baseline $0.01 / 1k views (Bonuses Program; varies widely). Brand deals + affiliate often dominate.
- These are estimates. Actual earnings depend on audience geography, retention quality, advertiser demand, and platform policy changes.
