Questions
What RPM should I use?
Your own, from YouTube Studio’s revenue tab, is best. Shorts RPM is usually far lower than long-form RPM; the default range is a conservative starting assumption.
Is this exact?
No. It is an estimate: actual earnings depend on your audience’s countries, the season and how YouTube shares Shorts revenue.
