How Much Money Does YouTube Pay Per View?

In all likelihood, this is because there is no single answer. A multitude of factors can all be contributing factors to how much you earn per view (we’ll look at these below).

If you have a video that has generated around 60,000 views on YouTube, your earnings would be in the range of $60 to $300.
While this not be enough money to turn your YouTube side hustle into a full-time career, hitting 60k views on YouTube is a huge achievement and a great sign that you’re on the right path.
Below, we’ll look at how an average of 60k views per video could look every year depending on the frequency you post.
Remember, making it on social media is about consistency! Keep going, and you could be at 600,000 views or even 1 million views per video next year!
How Much Could You Earn Each Year Averaging 60k Views on Every YouTube Video?
To give you an idea of how much you could earn with an average viewer level of 60k per video, let’s do some calculations. If you made:
- 1 video a week averaging 60k views:
- Minimum earning potential a year: $3,120
- Maximum earning potential a year: $15,600
- 2 videos a week averaging 60k views:
- Minimum earning potential a year: $6,240
- Maximum earning potential a year: $31,200
- 3 videos a week averaging 60k views:
- Minimum earning potential a year: $9,360
- Maximum earning potential a year: $46,800
It’s also important to note that it would be very rare to post three times a week and receive only 60,000 views per video. In most cases, if you are consistent with your videos and the niche you are in, your views will continue to grow with your account.
So, treat these figures are the minimum earning potential you could reach!
Factors That Could Affect Your Earnings
While earning $60 to $300 per 60,000 views is a good benchmark to use as an estimate, your earnings may be slightly lower or higher depending on the following things:
- Where you are based
- Where the majority of your audience is based (ad revenue from US watchers is higher than it is from an audience in other countries)
- The length of your video
- The type of content you are posting about
- Your subscriber numbers

How Else Do YouTubers Make Money?
