Successful payouts only, by month paid. Payments to agencies are not included.
How we count
- What is included
- Every payout to a creator for YouTube Content ID revenue on their videos and music that reached their payment account (Alipay, PayPal, WorldFirst, Payoneer and others), after Aegis's revenue share.
- What is left out
- Payouts that failed, were returned or are still pending; balances that expired unclaimed; payments to agencies, which pay their own creators; and referral commissions.
- Recent earnings come later
- Creators are paid after YouTube finalises a month, so money earned in the last few weeks is not in this total yet.
- Rounding
- Rounded down to two significant figures. The "+" means the real figure is higher.
Questions
Is this money creators actually received?
Yes. It counts only payouts that reached creators' payment accounts. Failed and pending payments are not included.
Why does the chart stop last month?
We count whole months. The current month is added after it ends.
How much will I earn?
It depends on how often your content is re-uploaded and watched. Most of the total comes from a small number of large channels, so we do not publish an average.
Which content qualifies?
Original video and music you own exclusively. Gameplay, compilations and Creative Commons content do not qualify for Content ID.
