Checking Your Own YouTube Earnings

If you're in the YouTube Partner Program, checking your earnings is simple:

  1. Open YouTube Studio.
  2. Navigate to the 'Analytics' tab.
  3. Click on the 'Revenue' sub-tab.

Here, you'll find detailed reports on your estimated revenue, RPM, CPM, and top-earning videos. This is your official source for your channel's financial performance.

How to Check Another Channel's YouTube Earnings

While you can't see another creator's private analytics, you can get a very good estimate. This is where a youtube monetization checker becomes a powerful YouTube money calculator.

The Estimation Method

A tool like YTMonetizer.com estimates earnings by:

  1. Analyzing Views: It fetches the channel's total and recent view counts.
  2. Determining Niche/Category: It identifies the channel's content category (e.g., Gaming, Finance, Tech).
  3. Applying an Estimated RPM: Based on the niche, it applies an industry-standard RPM (Revenue Per Mille, or earnings per 1000 views). Finance channels have a much higher RPM than gaming channels, for example.
  4. Calculating Earnings: It multiplies the view count by the estimated RPM to generate daily, monthly, and yearly revenue projections.
