Mathematical Audit

How YouTube Brand Deal Rates Are Calculated

YouTube brand deal rates are primarily based on average views (not subscribers), niche, and audience quality.

Base Rate = Average Views per Video × CPM Rate ($20–$50 per 1,000 views for dedicated sponsors)
Dedicated Video Rate: Average Views × $30–$50 per 1,000
Integration Rate (60-90 sec): Average Views × $15–$25 per 1,000
Pre-roll mention (15-30 sec): Average Views × $5–$10 per 1,000
Niche Multiplier: Finance/Tech 2.0× | Health 1.8× | Gaming 0.8× | Lifestyle 1.0×

Use average views from your last 10 videos, not your best-performing videos. Brands care about consistent delivery, not viral outliers.
