There is no universal fixed payout
eCPM expresses estimated earnings per thousand ad impressions. It is calculated as estimated earnings divided by impressions, multiplied by 1,000. A reported eCPM is not a guaranteed tariff for every application and every day.
Countries and ad formats can produce different results within the same game. Use the relevant segment of your own report instead of applying an isolated number found online to the entire audience.
Check the arithmetic in both directions
An illustrative 20,000 impressions at USD 2 eCPM gives USD 40 in estimated ad revenue. At an illustrative USD 5 eCPM, the same volume gives USD 100. These inputs teach the calculation; they are not market observations or income promises.
For the reverse check, USD 40 / 20,000 × 1,000 gives USD 2 eCPM. Keep the currency and reporting window consistent when reconciling figures.
Requests are not delivered impressions
An app can request an ad without receiving an eligible response. A loaded ad may never be displayed if the player leaves before reaching its placement. Counting requests as impressions overstates the estimate.
Inspect the path from request to display by country and platform. When delivery changes suddenly, review release changes, errors and placement calls before increasing frequency. More requests do not resolve every delivery problem.
Distinguish estimates from settled results
Daily estimated earnings can change after verification. Use comparable completed reporting windows for business decisions and keep costs separate. A change that improves immediate revenue may still harm player return behavior.
Aim for repeatable measurement rather than one impressive screenshot. Record release version, date range, country and format so the next change can be assessed against a meaningful baseline.
Frequently asked questions
What is the exact eCPM for Türkiye?
