How we estimate niche earnings

NoodleTomato Niche Finder turns public YouTube view data into estimated revenue ranges. These figures are not actual creator payouts and are not sourced from YouTube.

Confidence

Confidence is highest when a niche has many long-form breakout videos with known subscriber counts. Percentile ranges are precomputed from the analyzed sample; thin niches may show wider ranges or missing percentiles.

Calculation steps

  • We take a video's public view count and estimate how much ad revenue it earned, using a typical pay-per-view rate for this niche. The result is a range (low to high).
  • A channel's total estimated earnings are the sum of all its individual video estimates, across the channel's entire history.
  • These estimates assume all views earned ad revenue. In reality many channels have not turned on ads, so real earnings are usually lower.
  • Actual earnings depend on the creator's monetization status, audience location, ad formats, sponsorships, and more.
  • Verified data comes from visible YouTube channel pages and video listings. Estimated data is filled in from related channels when direct info was not available.
  • Data is independently sourced from public information. NoodleTomato is not affiliated with or endorsed by YouTube.

Public vs inferred data

Public rows come from direct channel uploads and imported catalog entries where view counts and metadata are visible. Inferred rows come from seed candidates and provider search when a niche is still being mapped. Niche pages show the split for their analyzed sample when source metadata is available.
