Tech & Gadgets YouTube Money Calculator

How much do tech & gadgets YouTubers make?

Tech is a powerhouse niche because it sits at the intersection of high advertiser demand and high purchase intent. Someone watching a laptop or phone review is often minutes away from buying — which makes them valuable to both advertisers (driving up your RPM) and affiliate programs (driving up your commissions). Many successful tech creators actually earn more from affiliate links than from ads.

A tech & gadgets channel earning steady views can expect an RPM of roughly $6 to $18 per 1,000 views from ads alone. Use the calculator above to model your own view count — and remember that the income streams below usually add 2–5× on top of ad revenue in this niche.

A realistic earnings example

Take an active tech-review channel pulling 300,000 views per month. At a tech & gadgets RPM of $6–$18, that works out to roughly $1,800–$5,400/month from ads alone. Add sponsorships and affiliates and total monthly income can comfortably reach two to five times that figure.

How to make money in the tech & gadgets niche

• Strong RPMs from electronics, software and telecom advertisers.
• Affiliate commissions on every gadget you review (Amazon, B&H, manufacturer programs).
• Brand-sponsored reviews and 'first look' deals from hardware companies.
• Recurring software affiliate income (VPNs, editing tools, productivity apps).

Tips to grow a tech & gadgets channel

• Always include affiliate links for every product mentioned — viewers expect and use them.
• Comparison and 'best X for Y' videos convert affiliates far better than single reviews.
• Stay fast on new releases; the first quality review of a hot product captures outsized traffic.
