I am new on AdSense. I am looking for basic question how are calculated earnings. It is possible to calculate it? If yes how it is calculated?
In my report I see CTR column, CPM, but I am really not sure what these columns means. I found that CPM is "Cost per 1000 impressions". Does it means if I have no click on ads but I have 2000 impressions I will earn 2*CPM. Are page impressions cumulative, or they resets them each day? CTR - Click through rate it looks like clicks/page impressions, it .
It looks like it is not predictable how much I earn from every click.

You are right it is not predictable as campaigns/competition change.
The CPM that you see in your adsense stats is based on the actual earnings.

A single click can make anywhere between $0.01 and several $. Nothing to predict the earnings per click though, I have seen $10 in one day and only $1 the next (with way more clicks on the second day ) a lot of times...

lets say you made 500 impressions and got 5 clicks and you earned $2, your ctr is 1% because 1% of 500 is 5, and your cpm is $4 because google estimates that since you earned $2 with 500 impressions, you might earn $4 with 1000 impressions.
heres what the AdSense Help Center says about CPM:
"Cost per 1000 impressions. From a publisher's perspective, CPM is a useful way to compare revenue across different channels and advertising programs. It is calculated by dividing total earnings by the number of impressions in thousands. For example, if a publisher earned $180 from 45,000 impressions, the CPM would equal $180/45, or $4.00. However, please keep in mind that eCPM is a reporting feature that does not represent the actual amount paid to a publisher."
