Streamer Calculator vs Social Blade
Social Blade is a channel lookup. It guesses earnings from public view counts and a wide CPM band. Streamer Calculator is a calculator: you enter views and RPM and it applies that rate. Neither tool can see the revenue number in YouTube Studio, so Studio wins when you have it.

Questions people ask
Why do Social Blade and this site disagree?
Social Blade applies a default CPM band to public views. This site applies the RPM you enter. The same channel can look like $500 on one and $2,000 on the other if the assumed rate is different. Your Studio RPM is the rate to trust.
Can either tool tell me what a channel really earns?
No. Brand deals, memberships, and Super Chat are not in the public view count. Ad revenue also depends on country and niche, which a public page only approximates.
Which page should I use to price 1,000 views?
Use the pay-per-1,000 page, then the country page that matches where your viewers live. Social Blade does not publish a country RPM.
