CPM (cost per thousand impressions) ranges from $3-$40 depending on audience geography (US audiences are worth the most), content category (news and sports command premiums), and time of day. The calculator uses mid-range estimates; your actual CPM will vary.
Fill rate is the percentage of your ad break inventory that gets filled with paying ads. New channels typically achieve 20-40% fill. Established channels with US audiences reach 60-80%.
Revenue share on most FAST platforms ranges from 50/50 to 70/30 between the operator and platform. On Vidiyo you keep 60% to 90% of your channel's ad revenue depending on your creator tier (Starter 60%, Growth 70%, Pro 80%, Partner 90%). The calculator models the Growth tier at 70%.

These are estimates. Actual revenue depends on ad market conditions, viewership demographics, content category, and platform relationships.
