YouTube Shorts RPM Calculator by Country

1. In YouTube Studio, open Analytics and choose Advanced Mode. Filter the content type to Shorts and set one date range.
2. Break the report down by geography. Add the engaged views and revenue metrics, then copy the rows for the countries you want.
3. Paste one row per country: name, engaged views, Shorts revenue. Read the RPM per country, the blended RPM and the table under the result.

What each result tells you:

YouTube Shorts RPM by country is your Shorts revenue per 1,000 engaged views from viewers in one country. YouTube Help defines RPM as how much money you earned per 1,000 views, and it states that for Shorts the measure includes all engaged views.

Country matters for Shorts because of how the money is shared. YouTube Help explains that Shorts Feed ad revenue is pooled each month, and that the Creator Pool is distributed to monetizing creators based on their share of total engaged views in each country. Each country therefore has its own pool and its own rate.

Why this page has no country table: YouTube publishes no Shorts RPM for any country. The size of each country pool changes every month with ad demand and total views. Fixed country rates online are third-party estimates, so this calculator uses only your rows.

The calculator divides revenue by engaged views for each country and for all rows together.

1. Country RPM = country Shorts revenue / country engaged views x 1,000.
2. Blended RPM = sum of revenue / sum of engaged views x 1,000. This weights each country by its views.
3. RPM against blended = country RPM / blended RPM - 1, shown as a percentage.
4. Share of revenue and share of engaged views = country value / total value.
5. Projection = planned engaged views / 1,000 x blended RPM for each month, with your own monthly change applied.

RPM uses three decimals here, because Shorts revenue per 1,000 engaged views is often a small number.

Example values only, not benchmarks. The countries are labelled A to D so that no figure reads as a real country rate.

The blended RPM is 188.00 / 5,100,000 x 1,000 = 0.037. 2 of the 4 countries sit above it, with 31.4% of engaged views.

Projection: 6,000,000 planned engaged views a month, rising 5% a month for 6 months, gives 1,504.42 at the same blended RPM. Meaning: Country B brings 51.0% of engaged views but 20.7% of revenue, so growth there adds less income per view than growth in Country A.

YouTube Help describes four steps that turn Shorts Feed ads into creator revenue, and each step moves RPM.

The Size of the Country Pool

Revenue from ads between videos in the Shorts Feed is added together each month. A country with more ad spend per engaged view pays a higher rate.

Music Use Across Shorts

Revenue linked to Shorts with music is split between the Creator Pool and music partners. YouTube Help says a Short with 1 track sends half of its associated revenue to the pool, and a Short with 2 tracks sends one third.

Your Share of Engaged Views

The pool is distributed by share of total engaged views from monetizing creators in each country. YouTube Help gives the example that 5% of eligible engaged views earns 5% of the pool.

The 45% Revenue Share

Monetizing creators keep 45% of their allocated revenue, with or without music. The rate is the same in every country.

Ineligible Views

YouTube counts only eligible engaged views for payment. Non-original Shorts, artificial views and views that break the advertiser-friendly guidelines are excluded.

Shorts and long-form videos use different revenue shares and different view counts, so their RPMs are not comparable row for row.

For the long-form side, the YouTube RPM by country calculator works on estimated revenue and views for the whole channel.

Checking Where Shorts Income Comes From

A Short that goes viral in one region can lift views without lifting revenue. The share columns show both sides.

Planning Language or Topic Changes

Compare the RPM of the countries you plan to reach before changing language or topic. The viewer geography revenue calculator models a shift in view mix.

Tracking Progress to Monetization

Shorts have their own eligibility route. The watch time hours calculator covers the thresholds in YouTube Help.

1. Using a Country Rate Table

No Shorts RPM table is official, and country pools change monthly.

2. Dividing by Views Instead of Engaged Views

YouTube Help states that Shorts RPM uses engaged views. A different view count gives a different rate.

3. Mixing Shorts with Long Videos

The geography report covers all content unless you filter to Shorts first.

4. Averaging Country RPMs

A plain mean ignores view share. The blended RPM divides total revenue by total engaged views.

5. Treating a Projection as a Forecast

The projection holds RPM constant. Real pools move with ad demand each month.

6. Misreading Small Shares

A country with 2% of views can show an extreme RPM. Check shares with the percentage calculator and use a longer date range.

The arithmetic is exact for the rows you enter, and the result describes your channel only.

No. YouTube Help explains how the Creator Pool is allocated in each country, but it lists no rate for any country. Use the geography breakdown of your own Shorts.

Shorts RPM is Shorts revenue divided by engaged views, times 1,000. In the example, 188.00 over 5,100,000 engaged views gives 0.037.

Creators keep 45% of the revenue allocated to them from the Creator Pool. YouTube Help states that the 45% applies whether or not music was used.

Each country has its own pool of Shorts Feed ad revenue. YouTube distributes that pool by share of engaged views in that country, so the rate per view differs.

Music changes the pool, not your share. YouTube Help says your allocation from the Creator Pool is not affected by your own use of a music track.

YouTube Help gives a hypothetical case: 1 million engaged views out of 100 million in Country A, a 90,000 pool, a 1% allocation of 900, and 405 after the 45% share.

YouTube Help, read on 2026-10-03, states that starting February 1, 2027 a channel needs at least 10 million qualified Shorts views in the last 90 days for each month of Shorts ad revenue.

The two use different systems. Shorts share a pooled amount at 45%, and long-form videos share watch page ad revenue at 55%. Your own analytics show the gap for your channel.

Not always. YouTube Help says view data by country can be limited below a threshold, but revenue data by geography is not limited. Longer date ranges show more rows.
