Tech & Reviews channels with an audience in Australia earn an RPM of roughly $9.5 to $21 per 1,000 views. That is Australia specifically, a small but high-income market where advertiser bids stay close to US levels. 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 Australian viewers works out to roughly $9,500 to $20,900 (about A$14,400 to A$31,800) per month from ads alone, before any sponsorship or affiliate income. This is one of the highest-paying audiences on YouTube. Use the calculator below to estimate your own channel.

Audience country sets the ad rate. A tech & reviews view from an Australian viewer is worth close to the platform maximum, because a small but high-income market where advertiser bids stay close to US levels.
The real money sits past AdSense. Established Australian tech & reviews creators lean on affiliate links to hardware and SaaS, plus sponsor integrations, which is priced on audience and niche rather than on the local ad rate.
Watch time compounds the rate. Longer average view duration means each Australian viewer sees more ads, stacking on top of an already high tech & reviews RPM.
Niche stacks on top of country. Tech & Reviews pays more than entertainment or comedy in every market, so an Australian tech & reviews channel out-earns an Australian vlog of the same size.

A tech & reviews channel with an Australian audience typically earns an RPM of $9.5 to $21 per 1,000 views, or roughly A$14 to A$32 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 $9,500 to $20,900 (about A$14,400 to A$31,800) a month from ads alone.
YouTube earnings are assessable income in Australia. Most creators register an ABN, declare it at tax time, and can claim gear, software and a home-studio portion as deductions. This is general information, not tax advice, so check your own situation with a local accountant once the channel earns real money.
At an Australian RPM of $9.5 to $21, one million views earns roughly $9,500 to $20,900 (about A$14,400 to A$31,800) from ads. Sponsorships and affiliates usually add more on top, and in high-income markets those extra streams often matter as much as the ad revenue.
Within tech & reviews, gadget reviews, software tutorials, and buying guides command the highest ad rates because advertisers in those categories bid the most, and that holds in Australia just as it does elsewhere. Pair that with mid-roll ads on 8-minute-plus videos to lift RPM further.
Most serious tech & reviews creators in Australia earn more from affiliate links to hardware and SaaS, plus sponsor integrations than from AdSense. Ads are the floor, not the ceiling, and a brand deal is priced on audience and niche, not on the local ad rate.
