We estimate that YouTube pays YouTubers with 1 million subscribers or less a CPM of $7.84 to $11.37, so long as their audience is based in the United States. This means that, on average, YouTube pays $3,920 to $5,685 for 500,000 views. However, a YouTuber's CPM is dependent on their niche and where their audience is located, so these numbers are simply rough estimations.
