FAQ
What's a normal revenue per viewer-hour?
$0.20–$0.60 across subs, bits, and ads is a common band for mid-size channels. Sponsor-heavy channels run far higher.
Is the follower ratio reliable?
It varies enormously. 50–150 followers per average viewer is typical; channels with old inactive followings sit much higher.
Accuracy and limitations
- Results are estimates before tax, fees, and inflation unless an input explicitly covers them.
- Rates are treated as fixed for the whole period — variable-rate products will drift from this projection.
- This is educational maths, not financial advice. Check anything contractual with the lender or your accountant.
