How Much Money Does 500k Subscribers Make? (Calculated)

Are you wondering how much money a YouTube Channel with over 500k Subscribers Makes? 

If you don’t already have a YouTube Channel, here’s how you can start one today ← and start making cool revenue. 

In this article, we’ll perform a simple calculation to determine just how much a YouTube Channel with over 500,000 Subscribers makes from just ad revenue alone. 

How Much Money Do 500k Subscribers Make? 

I feel like you already read this before but regardless, It’s important to note that YouTube doesn’t pay you for the number of Subscribers your Channel has. 

You’ll get paid for the number of Ad Views and if you enable Monetization for all your videos, then you’ll make money for every view. 

This only means that we need to estimate the number of views a Channel with 500,000 Subscribers gets and then use it to also estimate the amount of money they make. 

If a YouTube Channel with 500,000 Subscribers got 5% of its viewers to Subscribe, we can use a simple calculation to get the number of viewers that Subscribed.

Let the number of Viewers that Subscribed be “V.S”, then: 

500,000 = (5 ÷ 100) * V.S 
V.S = 500,000 ÷ 0.05 => 10,000,000

A YouTube Channel with 500,000 Subscribers roughly gets 10,000,000 views, now we can calculate just How much the Channel will make with that amount of views. 

The Average RPM on YouTube ranges from $5 – $20, we’ll use the midpoint for this Calculation, i.e. $12.50 as the RPM for the Channel with 10,000,000 views.

RPM = (number of views ÷ estimated earnings) * 1000
Estimated Earnings = (number of views ÷ RPM) * 1000
Estimated Earnings = (10,000,000 ÷ 12.50) * 1000 => $125,000 

Therefore, a YouTube Channel with 500,000 (500k) Subscribers should be making $125,000 per month if it gets 10,000,000 views and an average RPM of $12.50 per month.
