Estimates only, before tax. RPM is what you earn per 1,000 views after YouTube's share: creators keep 45% of their part of the Shorts pool, after music costs come out. Niche ranges are what creators commonly report at the time of writing; your real RPM is in YouTube Studio under Analytics, Revenue. You only earn once you're in the YouTube Partner Program. A month here is 365 ÷ 12 days.
