YouTube Rate Calculator
for Saudi Creators

Saudi YouTubers with 100K–1M subscribers typically charge SAR 5,000–SAR 50,000 for a mid-roll integration (approximately $1,335–$13,350 USD). Vision 2030-aligned and luxury lifestyle channels command the top. Gaming and tech channels also sit at premium rates. Dedicated videos for Saudi brands can command SAR 80,000–SAR 200,000+ for channels above 1M subscribers in desirable niches, particularly for Ramadan campaign series.

Government and quasi-governmental brands (Saudi Tourism Authority, PIF-backed entities, NEOM, Saudi Aramco) pay the highest absolute deal values for Saudi YouTube creators. Telecom brands (stc, Mobily, Zain) are the highest-volume sponsors. Banks and financial institutions (Al Rajhi Bank, Saudi National Bank, stcpay) pay premium CPMs for personal finance content. Noon.com and Extra Stores are active e-commerce sponsors. For international brands, automotive companies (Toyota Saudi, Hyundai Saudi), luxury goods brands, and global tech companies consistently pay above domestic market rates.

Saudi YouTube AdSense RPMs typically range from $3–$10 per thousand views depending on niche — above most of MENA and Southeast Asia, but below Western markets. Finance and tech content earns the most. Entertainment and comedy channels earn the least. RPMs spike significantly during Ramadan. For most Saudi YouTubers, brand deals remain the primary income source, generating 5–15x more revenue per view than AdSense alone. A 100K-view Saudi YouTube video might earn $300–$1,000 from AdSense versus $3,000–$8,000 from a brand integration in a premium niche.

The Saudi CMC (Communications and Media Commission) requires disclosure of paid content produced by Saudi creators. For YouTube, this means verbal disclosure at the start of the sponsored segment (e.g., 'هذا الجزء برعاية [اسم العلامة التجارية]') and written disclosure in the video description. YouTube's built-in paid promotion checkbox is recommended but does not satisfy CMC requirements alone. Saudi brand contracts increasingly include specific disclosure wording. CMC monitoring of large Saudi creator accounts has intensified since 2024, making compliance both a regulatory and commercial necessity.
