General rule of thumb is about $1 per thousand views... some make more some make less...
It depends on what ads you activate, and what ads get shown to your audience, and how many of them block your ads, versus how many interact with the ads

You get paid via PayPal, also based upon how many views/ad's you allow on your video's, I'd recommend checking out the FAQ on Getting Paid, they say going into your freedom dashboard will allow you to put in your Paypal Address.

Soon they'll start doing Direct Deposits to your or anyone's bank account's, which I think is a great thing, but also a bad thing at the same time.

Best Of Luck!

To label percentages, YouTube takes 45% of all ad revenue before giving the other 55% to Freedom!, which then gives 60% of that to you if you just join (up to 90% if you're big).

It irks me when George said "not a percentage of a percentage", which was wrong for the above reason.

As Kira said though, the rule is ~$1/1000views. Expect it to fluctuate since CPM is as dynamic as your view count should be.

well ive recently hit 2000 channel views, so i doubt im going to get just $2 idk really, but ive been bringing some nice content recently and it is hard trying to attract viewers to your channel because you know there are bigger and possibly better youtubers over you looking down on your channel or on you in general, but you just have to be positive and go for it, i mean ive attracted 2005 viewers to my channel and like 49/51 subs are potentially active and i get 50~120 views per vid, im happy that im growing i really am :)

If you go to your analytics on youtube it will tell you your cpm depending on the ad type.

So for instance if your CPM is at $6.00 and you get 2000 views, that means an advertiser is paying $6 for each 1000 monetised views shown. Unfortunately most views on youtube aren't monetised usually only around %25 or less for gaming channels. This is because of people using adblock as well as viewing on devices that can't show ads or the ads just aren't shown.

So from your 2000 views lets say 500 are monetised $6.00 x 0.500 = $3

First youtube takes their cut of %45 so you are left with $3 x 0.55 = $1.65

Now freedom takes their cut of %40 (if your at the default share) $1.65 x 0.6 = $0.99

Generally 1$ is made per 1000 views and depending on who your partnered with you make about 40-60% of that so If you got 10000 views with 60% revenue you would be making around 6 dollars

It should show your estimated earnings in the analytics, just multiply that by 0.60 and that should be around what you will earn :)

All payments are paid at the end of the month, so your November earnings (Nov 16th to Nov 30th) will be paid on the 31st of January. This should support article helps explain it a little better http://freedom.support.tm/support/solutions/articles/5000002381-when-do-i-get-paid-by-freedom-

Depending on which country you are from there is usually a threshold where you don't need to pay tax if you are earning under this amount. I think it's something like 10,000 pounds per year for the UK, so if you earn under that you wont have to pay tax. If you have other jobs this gets included in your total income so keep that in mind.

I'm not expert in this so you may want to double check with how income tax works in the UK.
