Tool Methodology & Benchmarks
CPM Calculator — How It Works
Formula: Estimated Revenue = (Monthly Views ÷ 1,000) × CPM
The calculator applies a CPM range based on niche selection, then projects monthly revenue at 3 view volume tiers (25K, 100K, 500K views). CPM varies by niche because advertisers bid differently for audience demographics.
Industry CPM Benchmarks (2026)
| Niche | CPM Range | YoY Change |
|---|---|---|
| Gaming | $7.50–$9.20 | +32% |
| Technology | $6.80–$8.40 | +29% |
| Business & Finance | $6.20–$7.80 | +27% |
| Educational | $4.50–$5.80 | +21% |
| Lifestyle | $2.80–$3.60 | +14% |
Revenue Estimator — How It Works
Formula: Monthly Revenue = (Videos/Week × Avg Views/Video × 4.3 weeks) × CPM ÷ 1000
The estimator projects quarterly revenue by modeling upload frequency against expected view performance. It applies a view efficiency curve — new channels see ~15% of impressions as views, established channels see ~25%.
Revenue Benchmarks by Subscriber Tier
| Tier | Avg Monthly Revenue | YoY Growth |
|---|---|---|
| 1K–10K subs | $42 | +18% |
| 10K–100K subs | $380 | +22% |
| 100K–500K subs | $2,100 | +31% |
| 500K–1M subs | $8,400 | +27% |
| 1M+ subs | $34,000 | +24% |
Channel Health Score — How It Works
Formula: Health Score = (Retention × 0.4) + (Engagement × 0.3) + (Growth × 0.3)
The composite score weights retention (average view duration / video length) most heavily, then engagement (likes + comments / views), then growth velocity (subscriber change / previous period).
Health Score Benchmarks
| Score Range | Interpretation | Typical Retention |
|---|---|---|
| 80–100 | Excellent — algorithm-favored | >60% |
| 60–79 | Healthy — steady growth | 45–60% |
| 40–59 | Needs attention | 30–45% |
| 0–39 | At risk — intervention needed | <30% |
Subscriber Growth Calculator — How It Works
Formula: Projected Subs = Current Subs × (1 + Conversion Rate)^Months
The calculator uses a conversion rate derived from view-to-subscriber ratios. Average conversion ranges from 2% (new channels) to 8% (established channels with loyal audiences).
Growth Rate Benchmarks
| Channel Age | Avg Monthly Growth | View-to-Sub % |
|---|---|---|
| 0–6 months | 150–500 | 1.5–3% |
| 6–18 months | 500–2,000 | 3–5% |
| 18+ months | 2,000–10,000 | 5–8% |
All benchmarks derived from TubeAnalytics dataset of 50,000+ monetized channels. See methodology for full data sourcing.
