FAQ
They're estimates based on typical niche RPMs and view-to-sub ratios, not a guarantee. Actual earnings swing with watch time, audience location, ad rates, and seasonality, so treat the output as a planning range rather than a paycheck.
No. AdSense pays on monetized views and watch time, not subscribers. A 50k channel with high-RPM finance content can out-earn a 500k gaming channel. The simulator weights views and niche, not just sub count.
You need to join the YouTube Partner Program first: 1,000 subscribers plus 4,000 valid public watch hours in the past 12 months, or 1,000 subs plus 10 million Shorts views in 90 days.
RPM (revenue per 1,000 monetized views) commonly lands between $1 and $5 for general content, but finance, tech, and business niches often run $7-$15+. The tool lets you pick your niche so the projection reflects that spread.
