About this tool
The YouTube Shorts vs Long Video Earnings Comparator does one job well: Compare estimated Shorts and long-video earnings side by side in USD and INR and see which format earns more..

Every creator eventually needs a tool that does one unusual job well. The YouTube Shorts vs Long Video Earnings Comparator is that kind of tool — less obvious than a title generator, but the right answer when its specific problem appears in your workflow. Keep it bookmarked for the day you need it.
Here is the whole process, start to finish. First, type your Shorts views and your Shorts RPM in USD. Next, type your long-video views and your long-video RPM in USD. Then, click Compare Earnings to see both sides in USD and INR, and which format earns more.
What you get is a clear, direct answer based on what you typed in. If it looks wrong, the input is the first thing to check: one mistyped number, or a pasted link with extra characters, will change the result. One thing worth knowing: Shorts earn from a shared ad pool, so the RPM per 1000 views is usually much lower than long videos, where ads play on the video itself. Remember that this is an estimate only. No calculator can guarantee earnings, views or approval — it can only work with the numbers you give it.
- Paste your Shorts views instead of typing it where you can. It is faster, and it avoids the typos that cause odd results.
- Keep in mind that earnings = views / 1000 x RPM.
- Compare its answer with your own judgement. A specialist tool is a second opinion, not a replacement for experience.
Frequently asked questions
How are the earnings calculated?
Earnings = views / 1000 x RPM. Type your Shorts views and Shorts RPM, and your long-video views and long-video RPM, and both sides are worked out with the same formula.
Why is Shorts RPM usually lower?
Shorts earn from a shared ad pool, so the RPM per 1000 views is usually much lower than long videos, where ads play on the video itself. Your own RPM may be different — type your real RPM if you know it.
Are these earnings guaranteed?
No. This is an estimate only, from the views and RPM figures you type in. Real earnings change with audience, niche, season and ads shown.
