A YouTuber with 1 million subscribers makes around $8,580 per year. Consider, you have 1 million subscribers. For each video you upload, let’s say 10% of your subscribers watch it and YouTube’s algorithm blesses you with, say, around 200K views from non-subscribers. That makes a total 300K views per video. Now, assuming your CPM (Cost per thousand views) as $1 which means you earn $1 per 1,000 views, advertisers will have to pay $300 per video ($1 * (300K/1,000)). After YouTube cuts their 45% share from this amount, you will earn $165 per video. If you were to upload one video per week, in a year you will have 52 videos making you around $165 x 52 = $ 8,580. While it may not seem like it, this is the simple answer. And quite possibly, a wrong one. But a more complicated and accurate answer is, YouTube earnings are dependent on a lot of factors. Some of them are Quality of ads, number of ads, viewers skipping the Ads before 30 seconds (as only then it counts as an ad view). Even your CPM is not fixed. CPM can change dramatically between a usual range of $0.5 to $6 based on target location.  The only thing you can be sure about is your YouTube earnings have no direct correlation to your ‘subscriber count’.
