Shorts RPM Calculator
What Shorts views pay, next to what the same views would earn as long-form.
The long-form RPM used for the side-by-side.
Shorts vs long-form at the same views
How it is computed: views ÷ 1,000 × RPM, once with the Shorts range ($0.05–$0.18) and once with the long-form range above. Shorts revenue is pooled across the feed, so per-view pay is roughly a tenth of long-form.

Questions
Why is Shorts RPM so much lower?
Shorts revenue is pooled across the whole Shorts feed and split by view share, so an individual Short earns roughly a tenth of the per-view rate long-form does.
What RPM range does the calculator use?
$0.05–$0.18 per 1,000 Shorts views — the pooled-feed rate creators typically report, roughly a tenth of long-form.
Do Shorts views count toward the 4,000 watch hours?
No. Shorts qualify through a separate bar — 10M Shorts views in 90 days — not through watch hours.
