How We Calculate This
Formula
Creator Fund Earnings = (Monthly Views / 1,000) × RPM
RPM = Base RPM × Engagement Multiplier × Niche Multiplier
Base RPM Range: $0.02–$0.04 per 1,000 views (Legacy Fund)
Creator Rewards: $0.40–$1.00 per 1,000 qualified views
Engagement Multipliers:
• Excellent (10%+): 1.5×
• Good (5-10%): 1.2×
• Average (2-5%): 1.0×
• Below (<2%): 0.7×
Example: 1M views/month, 6% engagement, finance niche
Base RPM: $0.03 × 1.2 (engagement) × 1.3 (niche) = $0.047
Monthly earnings: 1,000 × $0.047 = $47Worked Example
Calculate base earnings from views
Base Earnings = (Monthly Views / 1,000) × RPM
Values: (500,000 / 1,000) × $0.03
= $15.00 base monthly earnings
Apply engagement multiplier
Adjusted = Base × Engagement Multiplier
Values: $15.00 × 1.2 (for 6% engagement rate)
= $18.00 adjusted earnings
Apply niche multiplier
Final = Adjusted × Niche Multiplier
Values: $18.00 × 1.3 (finance niche premium)
= $23.40 estimated monthly earnings
Final Result: $23.40/month from Creator Fund with 500K monthly views in finance niche
Assumptions
- •Base RPM Range: Creator Fund pays $0.02–$0.04 per 1K views on average
- •Engagement Impact: Higher engagement rates increase RPM by 20-50%
- •Niche Variance: Premium niches (finance, tech) pay 20-40% more
- •Geographic Factors: US/UK/CA audiences pay highest CPMs
- •Creator Rewards: Pays $0.40-$1.00 for 1+ minute videos in eligible regions

The Creator Rewards Program replaced the Creator Fund in the US and select countries in 2023. Key differences: Rewards pays $0.40-$1.00 per 1K views (up to 20x higher), but requires videos to be 1+ minutes long. The old Fund pays $0.02-$0.04 for any video length.
