How Much Does YouTube Pay in India & Globally in 2026?
YouTube does not pay a flat rate for views. Instead, revenue is determined by RPM (Revenue Per Mille), which is how much creator revenue is generated per 1,000 views after YouTube takes its 45% cut (or 55% for Shorts).
Long-form Videos (8+ Mins)
Indian creators make between ₹40 to ₹350 per 1,000 views ($0.50 to $4.20). Mid-roll ads on 8-minute videos can double or triple RPM in finance and tech niches.
YouTube Shorts (15-60s)
Shorts revenue is pooled and distributed based on music licenses. Indian Shorts average ₹1.5 to ₹5.5 per 1,000 views ($0.02 to $0.06). A 10M views Short in India earns around ₹25,000 to ₹50,000.
