How much does any
YouTube channel make?
Paste a channel and we'll estimate its monthly ad revenue from public view data — niche, upload rhythm and reach. Then move the niche and the audience yourself and watch the number move with it.
Ad revenue only, from public view counts. Sponsorships, memberships and merch are not public, and are not in this number.
Three numbers, one
multiplication. That's it.
No black box. The estimate is public view volume times a niche RPM times an audience multiplier. Every input is on screen, and every one of them is labelled with whether we counted it or inferred it.

Counted
Views, two ways
We take the channel's last 30 days of views and its lifetime monthly average. A channel on a hot streak and a channel coasting on a back catalogue earn very differently, so both get carried through as the two ends of the range.
-
Inferred
An RPM for the niche
Advertisers pay wildly different rates by subject. Finance clears roughly $15 per thousand views; music sits near $3. We read the niche from the channel's recent titles, and you can override it if we got it wrong.
-
Inferred
An audience multiplier
The same video earns about four times more from a US audience than an Indian one. Where the viewers actually sit is private data, so this one is a dial rather than a reading. Move it and the estimate moves.
What a thousand views
is worth, by niche.
These are the RPMs behind the estimate above: revenue per thousand views after YouTube's cut, at a US-heavy audience. A global-mix audience earns roughly 60% of these, and an India-heavy one about a quarter.
