Frequently asked questions
How much does YouTube Shorts pay per 1,000 views in India?
Most Indian creators earn about ₹5 to ₹30 per 1,000 Shorts views from ads. Finance and tech channels can reach ₹20 to ₹60, while entertainment and food channels are usually ₹5 to ₹18.
How much money do 1 lakh Shorts views make in India?
At ₹5 to ₹30 RPM, 1 lakh (100,000) Shorts views usually earn about ₹500 to ₹3,000. A finance channel could earn ₹2,000 to ₹6,000 for the same views.
How much do 1 crore Shorts views earn?
1 crore (10 million) Shorts views typically earn about ₹50,000 to ₹3,00,000 in India, depending mainly on niche and where viewers live.
Why do Shorts pay less than long videos?
Ads are shown between Shorts in the feed, and the revenue is pooled and shared across all Shorts creators (creators keep 45% of their allocated share). Long videos carry ads directly, and creators keep 55% of that ad revenue, so the RPM is several times higher.
What do I need to start earning from Shorts?
For ad revenue sharing you need 1,000 subscribers plus either 10 million valid public Shorts views in the last 90 days or 4,000 public watch hours on long videos in the last 12 months. A lower tier (500 subscribers and 3 million Shorts views in 90 days) unlocks fan funding features but not ad revenue.
How accurate is this calculator?
It shows a realistic range rather than one number, because RPM changes by niche, season and audience. Use it to plan and compare niches, then check your real RPM in YouTube Studio.
