What this does

Enter views, a CPM range, and a country tier. We show the AdSense estimate as a range and the sum we used.

This is not a payout. Sponsorships, Super Thanks, and memberships are not in the figure.

Use cases
  1. 01Sanity-check a channel's AdSense story before you pitch it.
  2. 02See how a CPM change moves the monthly number.
  3. 03Show a client the working, not one confident dollar amount.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Why a range?

CPM and the ad-to-view rate both move. A single number would be theatre.

Do I need an account?

No. The numbers stay in this tab.

Is anything stored?

No. Nothing is written to a database.
