Different rules
YouTube uses RPM-style revenue reporting, while other programs may use qualified views or impressions.
Better inputs
Open a platform calculator when you know your own RPM, eligibility or revenue-rate data.
No payout promise
Generic benchmarks are editable scenarios, not fixed platform rates.
Typical is a scenario, not a guarantee.
The low/high columns show how sensitive the target is to the selected scenario rate. For qualified-view models, the calculation also applies the platform's default qualification assumption.
