How much does that channel make?

Paste any YouTube channel URL or @handle. We pull public data, classify the niche, and bracket an AdSense estimate (low / mid / high). Honest about the gaps.

Try:

How the estimate is built

  1. We resolve the channel via the public YouTube Data API.
  2. We classify the niche by hit-counting keywords in the title and description (title weighted 2x).
  3. We compute monthly views as total_views ÷ months_alive, floored at 6 months for new channels.
  4. We multiply by the niche's public-survey RPM band — different niches monetise very differently (kids: $1-3, finance: $12-40).
  5. We round aggressively. False precision erodes trust.
What this estimate does NOT include
  • · Sponsorships, brand deals, affiliate revenue, merch.
  • · YouTube Premium revenue share, channel memberships, Super Chat.
  • · Spike months: viral hits can 2-3x the mid estimate temporarily.
  • · Niche-specific RPM swings (a finance channel in the US can RPM 3x the same channel translated to PT-BR).
