How the numbers work

How earnings are estimated, what is public, and when this page was last updated.

Last updated: Jun 11, 2026
Data source: Public YouTube discovery; Built from publicly available channels and videos matched to this niche.
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.

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.
