Check your YouTube revenue

Due to the ongoing war in Ukraine, we will be temporarily pausing Google and YouTube ads from serving to users located in Russia. Learn more.

If you’re in the YouTube Partner Program, the Revenue tab in YouTube Analytics displays which content is earning the most money and which revenue sources are most profitable. The key metrics card shows your estimated revenue (income). Learn how to earn money on YouTube.

Note: It takes 2 days for revenue to show in YouTube Analytics.

How much you're earning

This report shows you how much your channel has earned in the last 6 months.

How much you're earning is subject to adjustments due to:

Invalid traffic
Content ID claims and disputes
Certain ad campaign types (for example, cost-per-day campaigns)

If your estimated income fluctuates, it may be because of these adjustments. These adjustments happen two times after earned revenue shows in YouTube Analytics:

The first adjustment happens after one week, giving a more complete estimate.
The second adjustment happens in the middle of the following month and reflects your finalized earnings.

About finalized earnings

Your finalized earnings are only visible in your AdSense account.
Finalized earnings in AdSense may be different from your estimated earnings in YouTube Analytics. For example, tax withholding may affect your finalized earnings, if any apply. Any taxes withheld will be visible in your AdSense account.
Finalized earnings for the previous month are added to your AdSense account balance between the 7th and 12th of each month.

To view your finalized earnings in AdSense:

Sign in to your AdSense account.
On the left, select AdSense for YouTube.
You'll see your current balance for YouTube earnings, last payment amount, and have access to YouTube-specific resources.
