Finance & Investing channels with an audience in Indonesia earn an RPM of roughly $2.9 to $6.4 per 1,000 views. That is Indonesia specifically, one of the largest audiences on YouTube, where enormous view volume offsets a low local ad rate. 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 Indonesian viewers works out to roughly $2,880 to $6,400 (about Rp46,656,000 to Rp103,680,000) per month from ads alone, before any sponsorship or affiliate income. That is about 16% of what the same channel would earn from a US audience, because the local ad market pays less per view. Use the calculator below to estimate your own channel.

Audience country sets the ad rate. A finance & investing view from an Indonesian viewer is worth roughly 16% of the same view from a US viewer, because one of the largest audiences on YouTube, where enormous view volume offsets a low local ad rate.
The real money sits past AdSense. Established Indonesian finance & investing creators lean on affiliate deals with brokers and fintech apps, plus paid communities, which is priced on audience and niche rather than on the local ad rate.

Niche stacks on top of country. Finance & Investing pays more than entertainment or comedy in every market, so an Indonesian finance & investing channel out-earns an Indonesian vlog of the same size.

A finance & investing channel with an Indonesian audience typically earns an RPM of $2.9 to $6.4 per 1,000 views, or roughly Rp46,700 to Rp103,700 in local terms, which is what you keep after YouTube's 45% cut and un-monetised views. One million monthly views works out to roughly $2,880 to $6,400 (about Rp46,656,000 to Rp103,680,000) a month from ads alone.
AdSense pays in US dollars and your Indonesian bank converts to rupiah, so the Rp total tracks the USD/IDR rate. Payout clears after the $100 threshold. The RPM figures on this page are the US-dollar amounts AdSense reports, which your bank converts to IDR, so the local total moves a little with the exchange rate.
YouTube income is taxable in Indonesia as business income and is reported on your annual SPT, so keeping records of earnings and expenses matters once the channel scales. This is general information, not tax advice, so check your own situation with a local accountant once the channel earns real money.
At an Indonesian RPM of $2.9 to $6.4, one million views earns roughly $2,880 to $6,400 (about Rp46,656,000 to Rp103,680,000) from ads. Sponsorships and affiliates usually add more on top, and in a lower-RPM market like this one those extra streams often matter more than the ad revenue.
Within finance & investing, investing, credit cards, and business software content command the highest ad rates because advertisers in those categories bid the most, and that holds in Indonesia just as it does elsewhere. Pair that with mid-roll ads on 8-minute-plus videos to lift RPM further.
Most serious finance & investing creators in Indonesia earn more from affiliate deals with brokers and fintech apps, plus paid communities than from AdSense. This matters even more in a lower-RPM market, where the ad rate alone is thin, and a brand deal is priced on audience and niche, not on the local ad rate.
Make globally-framed finance & investing content in English so a real share of views come from US, UK, Canada and Australia viewers. An Indonesian channel that earns half its views from tier-1 countries can multiply its RPM several times over without changing topic.
