Education & Science channels with an audience in Canada earn an RPM of roughly $7.0 to $16 per 1,000 views. That is Canada specifically, a high-income market that tracks just under US and UK rates. RPM is what the creator keeps after YouTube's 45% cut and the views that never saw an ad, so it is the only earnings figure that reflects real take-home pay.
At that rate, one million monthly views from Canadian viewers works out to roughly $7,040 to $15,840 (about C$9,600 to C$21,500) per month from ads alone, before any sponsorship or affiliate income.
