YouTube Channel Worth Calculator

Start with your subscriber count, niche and monetization status. This calculator compares those details with asking prices on Escrozon and gives you a range to work from. It cannot see your recent views, earnings or channel standing, so check those before setting an asking price.

What to check before setting a price

Look at recent views

Subscriber counts can outlast an audience's interest. Open YouTube Studio and compare views and watch time across recent videos, not just the best performer. A buyer will want to know whether the channel still reaches people.

Check what earns money

If the channel is monetized, show recent revenue and where it comes from. Ad income, sponsorships and affiliate sales are different kinds of income. The calculator can group listings by reported monetization when it has enough examples, but it cannot check your earnings.

Review channel standing

Copyright issues, policy warnings and reused content can change a buyer's offer. Check the channel's status in YouTube Studio and describe any unresolved issue clearly in the listing.

Confirm the handover method

Find out who owns the channel and which access can be transferred before you promise delivery. Do not assume that access to a Google login and ownership of a channel are the same thing. Check YouTube's current transfer instructions for your setup.

How buyers price a channel that earns

For a monetized channel, buyers usually start from monthly revenue over the last 12 months. They take off running costs such as editing, voice-over and thumbnails, then offer a multiple of the monthly net profit that is left. Income that has been steady for a year or more, comes from many videos and does not depend on the owner appearing on camera tends to earn a higher multiple.

Revenue per 1,000 views depends on the niche

YouTube Analytics reports RPM, the channel's revenue for every 1,000 views after YouTube's share. RPM varies widely between niches: a finance channel usually earns far more per 1,000 views than a gaming or music channel, because advertisers pay more to reach viewers who are making money decisions. Show buyers RPM and revenue for the last 12 months in a live screen share.

Audience geography

Where viewers live affects income as much as how many there are. Advertisers usually pay more to reach viewers in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada and Australia than in most other countries, so two channels with the same views can earn very different amounts. Check the top geographies in the Audience tab before you quote a revenue figure.

Long-form videos and Shorts

Shorts are paid differently from long-form videos. Ad revenue from the Shorts feed is pooled each month and shared out by views, and creators keep 45% of their share. Shorts therefore usually earn much less per 1,000 views, and a channel whose income comes from long-form uploads is normally worth more than a Shorts channel with the same view count.

Evergreen videos keep earning

Some videos keep getting views long after YouTube stops recommending them, because people find them through search. Tutorials, reviews and explainers are typical. A library like that keeps earning after the sale, so it supports a higher price than uploads that depend on trends or news.

Frequently asked questions

How is the YouTube channel estimate calculated?

It starts with asking prices for YouTube listings on Escrozon with usable subscriber counts. It favors listings of a similar size, then uses niche and reported monetization when there are enough examples. The result is an asking-price guide, not a record of completed sales.

Will a monetized channel get a higher estimate?

The calculator tries to compare monetized channels with monetized listings when the sample is large enough. It does not read your revenue or promise a premium. Recent earnings and channel standing still need a separate review.

Does the calculator use views or watch time?

No. It asks for subscribers, niche, monetization, verification and age. Use recent YouTube Studio data to judge whether the suggested range fits your channel's actual audience.

Is the estimated range a sale price?

No. The source listings show what sellers are asking, not what buyers paid. Your final price may change after a buyer checks analytics, revenue, policy history and the available ownership transfer.

Where can I sell my YouTube channel once I have a price?

On a marketplace that holds the buyer's payment before you hand anything over. On Escrozon you list the channel with current analytics, the buyer pays into escrow, and the Brand Account moves to the buyer in the deal chat. The YouTube sell page linked below walks through each step.
