YouTube Revenue Tracker: Track YouTube Income, Ad Revenue, and Every Payout in One Place
YouTube Studio shows estimated revenue that moves for weeks after a video goes up, and it stops at the edge of YouTube. Earnly is the YouTube revenue tracker that records what was actually paid, when it landed, and how YouTube compares to everything else you earn from.

In short
A YouTube revenue tracker records what your channel actually earns and gets paid, separating ad revenue from memberships, Super Chat, and Shorts, and pairing each payout with the date it lands. The YouTube payment mechanics are specific and worth building around. Earnings accumulate through the calendar month, AdSense finalizes them on about the 3rd of the following month, and if your balance is at or above the $100 threshold with a verified payment method and no holds, payment issues between the 21st and the 26th. Anything under $100 rolls forward to the next month, which is why a first paycheck often arrives two or three months after monetization. The revenue side splits too: YouTube pays creators 55% of ad revenue on long-form video, so the RPM you see in Studio is already your share, and a channel doing 100,000 monthly views typically earns something like $200 to $1,200 from ads depending on niche and audience country, with finance and business channels at the top of that band. Shorts pay on an entirely different pool at roughly $0.05 to $0.15 per 1,000 views, so a viral Short can look enormous in the analytics and small in the bank. Memberships, Super Thanks, and Super Chat come through the same AdSense payment but are not ad money and behave differently month to month. Earnly puts each stream on its own line with gross, fees, and take-home, then lines YouTube up against Twitch, Patreon, Ko-fi, Stripe, and merch. Earnly reads your numbers and never touches your money; it is not a bank or a payment processor and does not give financial or tax advice. Figures are estimates to confirm against AdSense. Plans start at $12 a month.
Why it matters
What this line of the statement buys you
Ads, memberships, and Shorts on separate lines
One blended YouTube number hides which stream is growing. Splitting them shows when memberships quietly overtake ad revenue, which changes what you make next.
Paid, not estimated
Studio revenue keeps revising for weeks. Earnly records the finalized AdSense payout, so your monthly total stops moving after you have written it down.
The $100 threshold, tracked
A balance below the threshold rolls forward instead of paying. Earnly shows the carried balance so a missing deposit has an explanation rather than a mystery.
YouTube against every other channel
Most channels also earn on Patreon, a merch store, or sponsor invoices. On one board it becomes obvious when 800 members out-earn a million views.

Questions people actually ask
How do I track my YouTube revenue?
YouTube Studio gives you estimated revenue, and AdSense gives you finalized payments, but neither is a record of your business because both stop at YouTube. The workable method is to log each finalized payout with its revenue streams separated, the date it was issued, and any balance carried forward, then track it alongside your other income. Earnly does this automatically and puts expected pay dates on a payout calendar. The YouTube payment schedule guide covers the timing.
When does YouTube pay you?
Earnings accumulate through the calendar month and AdSense finalizes them on about the 3rd of the next month. If your balance has reached the $100 payment threshold, your payment method is verified, and no holds are on the account, payment issues between the 21st and the 26th, with electronic transfers usually posting within a few business days. Balances under $100 roll into the following month rather than paying out.
Why is my YouTube payment still pending?
A pending YouTube payment almost always traces to one of four things: the balance has not reached the $100 threshold and rolled forward, a hold is sitting on the account for tax information, identity, or address verification, the payment method is missing or was never confirmed, or the payment issued on schedule and your bank is still posting the transfer. The alert on your AdSense payments page names which one applies. Our guide to a YouTube payment that is pending or on hold walks through each cause and the fix.
How much does YouTube pay per 1,000 views?
For most channels RPM sits in the $2 to $12 range for long-form video with a mainly US and Western European audience, so 100,000 monthly views commonly produces $200 to $1,200 from ads. Finance, business, and software niches sit at the top of that band and entertainment or gaming at the bottom. Shorts run on a separate pool at roughly $0.05 to $0.15 per 1,000 views. Our how much YouTube pays guide has the full RPM breakdown by niche.
Is there a YouTube income tracker that covers Patreon and sponsors too?
That gap is exactly what Earnly fills. Ad revenue arrives through AdSense on the 21st to 26th, Patreon initiates on the 5th, and sponsor invoices arrive whenever the brand pays, so a creator with three income streams has three calendars and no single total. Earnly tracks 12 platforms plus lite invoicing for brand deals on one board with take-home per source. See the income tracker for YouTubers for how it fits a channel.
