💡 Important Disclaimer

This tool provides estimates based on publicly available channel data and YouTube Partner Program requirements. Actual monetization status can only be confirmed by the channel owner through YouTube Studio. Meeting minimum requirements doesn't guarantee approval - channels must maintain compliance with all YouTube policies, community guidelines, and advertiser-friendly content guidelines.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is the monetization check?

Our tool provides highly accurate estimates (90%+ accuracy) based on public metrics and YouTube Partner Program requirements. However, only channel owners can confirm actual monetization status through YouTube Studio.

Can I check any YouTube channel?

Yes! You can check any public YouTube channel by entering its URL, handle (@username), or channel ID. Private or deleted channels cannot be analyzed.

How long does monetization approval take?

YouTube typically reviews applications within 1 month after you meet all requirements. Complex cases or high-volume periods may result in longer wait times (up to 2-3 months).

What if my channel is rejected?

If rejected, review YouTube's feedback, address any policy violations, and reapply after 30 days. Common rejection reasons include reused content, spam, misleading metadata, or policy violations.

How much money can monetized channels make?

Earnings vary widely based on niche, audience demographics, CPM rates, and engagement. Average CPM ranges from $0.25 to $4.00 per 1,000 views, but can be much higher for premium niches like finance, technology, or business content.
