Know what your channel is worth

Our calculator uses real-world CPM and RPM data for 15 niches and 14 regions to give you the most accurate earnings estimate available without an API.

15 Niches
From Finance ($12+ RPM) to Music ($1–3 RPM) — each niche has its own CPM range based on advertiser demand.

14 Regions
US audiences have CPMs 3–10× higher than Southeast Asian audiences. The region multiplier reflects this accurately.

3 Scenarios
See Low, Mid, and High estimates — because CPM varies widely even within the same niche.

Sponsorship Estimate
Brand deal potential is calculated separately from AdSense — often exceeding ad revenue for channels with 100K+ views per video.

Annual Projection
See how yearly earnings add up — useful for planning, negotiations, and understanding your channel's business potential.

Real-World RPM Data
RPM values are derived from publicly reported creator data, industry benchmarks, and AdSense disclosures — not guesses.
