RPM (Revenue Per Mille) is the estimated revenue you earn per 1,000 pageviews. It varies by niche and ad network.

Google AdSense is free to join with no minimum traffic. RPMs are lower but it is perfect for new bloggers starting out.

Mediavine requires a minimum of 50,000 sessions per month. It offers significantly higher RPMs due to premium ad placements and optimization.

AdThrive requires a minimum of 100,000 monthly pageviews. It is a premium network with the highest RPMs, offering white-glove service for established bloggers.

Actual earnings vary based on audience location, seasonality, ad placement, and content quality. These estimates use industry-average RPMs.

About the Blog Earnings Estimator

Estimate realistic monthly blog income from ad revenue, affiliate commissions, and digital products. Punch in your monthly pageviews, niche RPM, conversion rate, and product price — the calculator instantly shows what your blog could earn at three traffic tiers. Built for mom bloggers thinking about quitting their day job to write full-time.

How it works

Step 1. Enter your current (or target) monthly pageviews.
Step 2. Pick your niche so we use a realistic RPM range.
Step 3. Add average affiliate conversion rate and product price.
Step 4. See low / median / high projections per month and per year.

When to use this tool

Quit-or-stay decision — Compare projected blog income against your current salary before deciding whether to leave your day job.
Realistic goal setting — Calculate how many pageviews you actually need to hit a $2k/month target — usually much fewer than people assume.
Niche selection — Test how the same traffic earns very differently in personal finance vs. lifestyle vs. parenting niches.

Frequently asked questions

Where do you get the RPM ranges?

We average publicly reported numbers from Mediavine, Raptive (AdThrive), and Ezoic by niche. They're realistic ballparks — your own RPM will vary based on audience country, season, and ad placement.

Does this account for affiliate income?

Yes. You enter the affiliate conversion rate and average commission per sale, and the calculator adds it to the ad-revenue total.

Why three projections instead of one?

Blog income is inherently variable — January and Q4 are very different. The low/median/high range gives a realistic floor and ceiling instead of a single misleading number.
