YouTube is no longer just an entertainment platform. It has become a wide range of career choices for hundreds of thousands of creators in India. Comedy, Travel Video Blog, Finance and Technology Explanation – One million videos are uploaded every day to put it simply. But the most common question people ask is: How much does YouTube pay to get 1,000 views?
The main source of revenue for creators is through Adsense, which pays whenever an ad runs on their videos. Revenue is calculated using two key indicators:
- CPM (cost per millimeter): Advertisers pay 1,000 ad views.
- RPM (Revenue per milliliter): What are the actual video views creators receive after YouTube maintains its 45% share.
- In India, CPM is cheaper compared to Western countries because advertisers here spend less. On average, creators are 30 to 150 rupees per 1,000 views depending on the content.
- Entertainment and video museum: Rs 30-60 per Rs 1,000
- Finance, Technology, Education: Rs 80-150 per 1,000 views

What determines your income?
Here are some of the factors that each of your views’ earnings are based on:
- Types of videos (paid for finance and technology is higher than entertainment)
- Country where the audience lives (foreign audience pays more)
- Advertising type (beatable ads, non-tapable ads, different rates of display ads)
- Watch time and engagement (longer watches, more ads appear)
- Seasons and demand (festive season means higher budget)
Not just advertising
YouTube’s revenue is more than just advertising. Many creators also make money by:
- Super Chat and Super Stickers: Support fans during live broadcasts
- Channel Membership: Paid Membership Subscriptions with Promising Exclusive Privileges
- Brand sponsorship: A company deemed to be donated to creators to promote their products
- Member Marketing: Commissions paid for sales through video-generated product link sales
If your audience is in countries like the United States, Canada, or Europe, the benefits are much higher. For example, in the United States, creators can compare to India’s views of 160 to 650 rupees, per 1000 views. That’s why Indian YouTubers with global audiences are making a lot more revenue.

Example: Monthly Income
If the channel gets 1 million views in one month and the average RPM is Rs 80, the monthly income is:
(10,00,000÷1,000)×RS 80 = RS 80,000
If these views come from the United States, then income could increase to Rs 30,000 to Rs 40,000.
