How this calculator works CC-BY 4.0

Each niche CPM range aggregates N≥3 named creator income disclosures or industry-published rate cards. CPM is gross advertiser-paid cost per 1,000 ad impressions in USD. RPM equivalent applies the standard 55% creator share. Q4 multiplier is the observed seasonal lift comparing Q4 to Q2 disclosures within the same niche. Estimates describe typical English-language US/CA/UK/AU audience composition; majority Tier 3 audience geography (India / Brazil / Indonesia) creators are excluded from niche aggregations.
