What This Tool Does
Everyone wants to be a YouTuber, but no one tells you how much work it actually takes to make your first dollar. You see people with millions of views and assume they're rich, but the reality is a lot more complicated. It’s not just about views; it’s about 'CPM', 'niche', and how much advertisers are willing to pay to be on your channel.
We built this calculator to give you a realistic estimate of what a channel can actually earn. Whether you're a new creator dreaming of quitting your job or you're just curious about how much your favorite gamer makes, this tool breaks it down based on real-world averages.
How to use
- 1Step 1: Enter the daily views you expect or currently have.
- 2Step 2: Pick your 'Estimated CPM' (we provide a range based on common niches).
- 3Step 3: Adjust the 'Playback-Based Views' (usually around 80% of total views).
- 4Step 4: See your estimated daily, monthly, and yearly earnings instantly.
- 5Step 5: Compare different niches to see which ones are actually the most profitable.
