YouTube Channel Revenue Estimator
Estimate ad revenue from a channel URL, based on its recent view pace.
About this tool
Enter a YouTube channel URL or @handle to fetch its public subscriber count, total views, and the view counts of its recent uploads. The tool derives a views-per-day pace and estimates monthly and yearly ad revenue across the RPM range you specify. The RPM values are editable.
Only public information is used: the channel's subscriber count, total views, video count, and the view counts and publish dates of its 20 most recent uploads. No private analytics are accessed.
Revenue is calculated as views-per-day from recent uploads, times 30, divided by 1000, times RPM. Lifetime total views are deliberately not used, because they overstate channels that grew years ago and have since gone quiet.
RPM varies widely by topic, audience country, and season. The default range is a commonly cited ballpark, not a measurement. Replace it with your own figure if you have one. Results are always shown as a range.
Much is excluded: memberships, Super Chat, sponsorships, affiliate income, merchandise, and the separate Shorts revenue pool. Private and unlisted videos are not counted. Treat the figure as an order of magnitude, not an amount.
FAQ
- How is YouTube channel revenue estimated?
- The tool derives a daily view pace from the view counts and publish dates of the 20 most recent public uploads. It projects that pace over 30 or 365 days and applies the entered low and high RPM.
- Should I enter a channel URL or an @handle?
- Either a normal channel URL or an @handle can be used. Enter a channel identifier rather than the URL of one individual video.
- Why is revenue not calculated from subscriber count?
- Advertising revenue relates more directly to actual views than to subscriber count itself. Recent upload pace also avoids overstating a channel that accumulated most views long ago.
- Does the estimate include Shorts or sponsorship income?
- No. Memberships, tips, sponsorships, merchandise, affiliate revenue, and the separate Shorts revenue pool are outside this estimate.
This tool sends only the channel URL you enter to YouTube through this site's server to look up public data. Nothing else you enter is sent.
