Live lookup uses public channel data. No channel login or private analytics are accessed. For an exact payout estimate, use the calculators below with your own RPM.

Tool 02

Eligibility calculator

Enter your numbers. Progress is measured against YouTube’s public thresholds.

Not eligible yet

Keep building. The thresholds below show the shortest path from where you are.

Subscribers0 / 1,000
Watch hours (12 months)0 / 4,000
Shorts views (90 days)0 / 10,000,000

Full tier: 1,000 subscribers + 4,000 public watch hours in 12 months, or 10M public Shorts views in 90 days. Fan funding starts at 500 subscribers. Rules can change — confirm in YouTube Studio.

Tool 03

Earnings calculator

Estimate ad revenue from long-form and Shorts views. Use your own RPM figures.

Estimated per month$0.00
Long-form$0.00
Shorts$0.00
Per year$0.00
Per day$0.00

RPM is what the creator keeps per 1,000 views after YouTube’s share, before tax. It varies by niche, country and season. These are estimates, not a payout promise.

Tool 04

Revenue goal

Work backwards from a monthly target to the views and uploads it takes.

Views needed per month00 per day
Target$0.00 / month
Blended RPM$0.00

Blended RPM mixes long-form and Shorts. If you do not know yours yet, start with a conservative figure and replace it after your first monetised month.

How to read it

Signals,
not guarantees.

The live check reads public channel data and the latest uploads. The calculators use the numbers you enter. Neither can predict YouTube’s decisions or payouts.

Live check

We look up the public channel, then inspect recent uploads for ad slots, member / Join controls and Super Thanks. YouTube does not publish an official YPP status, so a missing signal is not proof that a channel is unmonetised. Results vary by region, upload and time. Only public data is read — never a login or private analytics.

Eligibility

The calculator uses YouTube’s published Partner Program thresholds: 1,000 subscribers plus 4,000 valid public watch hours in 12 months, or 10M valid public Shorts views in 90 days. The 500-subscriber fan-funding tier is shown separately. YouTube verifies the data — this tool only does the arithmetic.

RPM & goals

RPM is revenue per 1,000 views after YouTube’s share, before tax. It changes with niche, audience country, ad format and season. The revenue planner divides your target by a blended RPM. Views are a planning input, not a promise.
