Estimate ad revenue by country · 12 countries · RPM varies 10× from US to India

Quick Answer

Estimated earnings = views ÷ 1,000 × RPM, where RPM is revenue per 1,000 views after YouTube's 45% cut. RPM is set by the viewer's country and niche, not the creator's location — views from high-ad-spend markets like the US, Germany, and the UK can earn roughly 10× the same number of views from lower-CPM markets such as India or Indonesia.

The real insight: 1,000,000 views from India pays about as much as 100,000 views from the United States. Where your audience lives matters more than how many there are.
