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.

We're introducing a new beta that brings payment details to the Earn tab of the YouTube Studio mobile app. This beta gives eligible creators an easier way to understand how their earnings translate into payments. With this beta, you can view:

• Your progress toward your next payment
• Your payment history for the last 12 months including the date, amount paid, and a payment breakdown

Learn more in our forum post.

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. Learn how to earn money on YouTube.

Tip: As our monetization sources evolve, you may see changes to the Revenue tab in YouTube Analytics, including more detailed revenue breakdowns. These breakdowns give multiformat creators the chance to deep dive on their revenue streams and optimize to grow their business. Read on for more info.

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, broken down by month.

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 1 week, giving a more complete estimate.
• The second adjustment happens in the middle of the following month and reflects your overall earnings.

How you make money

This report gives a breakdown of how much estimated revenue has come from each revenue source. Examples of revenue sources include Watch Page Ads, Shorts Feed Ads, Memberships, Supers, Connected Stores, and Shopping Affiliates. You can select a source for a detailed revenue breakdown.
