Why this number

What lifts the estimate and what holds it back

Helps

Niche: Education

$3 to $15 per 1,000 views

$0typical $7$20

Long videos in this niche typically pay about $7 per 1,000 views to the creator.

Helps

Where viewers likely are

100% of US ad rates

0%US rates

Based on the channel's language and country (English, based in the US). Ads pay far more in the US, UK, Canada and Australia than elsewhere.

Neutral

Shorts in the mix

5% of views this month

Long 95%Shorts 5%

Shorts pay about $0.20 per 1,000 views, a small fraction of long videos, so the same views earn much less.

Helps

Long enough for mid roll ads

Videos of 8 minutes or more can carry ads in the middle, which lifts earnings per view.

How we got this. Views from the last 30 days are rebuilt from each public video's views and age, cut to the views YouTube pays on, then priced with niche, audience and video length ad rates from published creator data. We run this 2,000 times with realistic variation and show the middle half. Data read November 7, 2026, 04:40 UTC.
