Ads are only part of it
This calculator estimates ad revenue, which for most channels is the floor rather than the ceiling. YouTube also pays through channel memberships, Super Chat and Super Thanks, Shopping, and a share of YouTube Premium subscriptions based on how long Premium members watch you. Many established channels earn more from sponsorships and affiliate links than from ads. Read how much YouTube actually pays for how each one works.
