Open calculator →How we build these calculators
Each calculator uses fees taken from the platform's own pricing or help page, checked in November 2026, and industry rates from published reports that we link next to the number. Where no trustworthy public figure exists, such as your YouTube RPM, we say so and mark the box as an example input for you to replace.
Every page shows its formula, so you can check the maths yourself. Nothing you enter leaves your browser.
Frequently asked questions
Are these calculators free?

Where do the numbers come from?
