Creator Earnings Calculator

How to use this calculator

Start with conservative inputs, copy the result, then test a best-case and worst-case version. For production decisions, compare the estimate against actual accounting, analytics and payment data.

Formula

Creator earnings often combine multiple revenue streams. This calculator separates display-style RPM revenue from affiliate revenue so you can see which assumption drives the forecast.

Formula

Total earnings = views / 1,000 * RPM + affiliate clicks * conversion rate * commission.

Example

SEO site earnings model

A niche site gets 85,000 monthly views, a $12 ad RPM and 1,800 affiliate clicks at a 3.5% conversion rate.

  • Monthly views: 85,000
  • Ad RPM: $12
  • Affiliate clicks: 1,800
  • Average commission: $24
The example estimates about $2,532 in monthly earnings.

Should sponsorships be included?

You can model sponsorships separately or fold them into monthly revenue. This calculator focuses on ad RPM and affiliate commissions.
