Facebook In-Stream Ads Revenue Calculator: Estimate Video Ad Earnings for 2026

Estimate your Facebook in-stream ad revenue from video views, CPM rate, ad breaks, and fill rate.

Mathematical Audit

How Facebook In-Stream Ad Revenue Is Calculated

Revenue is based on monetizable views (total views × fill rate), multiplied by ad breaks per video, then divided by 1,000 and multiplied by CPM.

Monetizable Views = Monthly Views × (Ad Fill Rate ÷ 100)
Total Ad Impressions = Monetizable Views × Ad Breaks Per Video
Monthly Revenue = (Total Impressions ÷ 1,000) × CPM Rate

Facebook in-stream ads require videos to be at least 1 minute long. Ad fill rates vary by geography and content category.
