Read these figures with care
- Every revenue figure is YouTube Studio’s estimated revenue. Studio adjusts it at month end, and what AdSense pays can differ.
- “Cross-checked” means a second figure on the same screen, or an on-screen sum, agrees with the number (in two records across the site, a re-read of the same frame by eye, which confirms the reading rather than the figure). “Open discrepancy” means two on-screen figures disagree and the gap is left as shown. “Period inferred” means the screen printed no date range, so the dates were worked out from the chart axis and the video’s publish date.
- Two panels carry an open discrepancy: the 2026 content-performance figure and the seven-day revenue-by-source figure do not match the neighbouring totals exactly, and the gaps are left open.
- Only a dollar sign appears on screen. A bank deposit labelled GOOGLE YOUTUBE is shown at 00:24; the currency is recorded as USD on that basis and the creator's US location.
- These are figures one creator chose to show. They say nothing about what another channel, or you, would earn.
