YouTube Monetization Eligibility Checker

Not externally. Monetization status is private — only the channel owner can see it in YouTube Studio → Earn. This tool estimates public-signal readiness based on publicly available metadata like subscriber count, upload frequency, and channel age. It cannot confirm actual monetization status.

No. This tool is an estimator based on public signals only. It cannot access private data such as valid watch hours, valid Shorts views for YPP, AdSense linkage, strike status, or review status. Only YouTube and the channel owner can see the real numbers.

To join YPP, a channel needs at least 1,000 subscribers plus either 4,000 valid public watch hours in the last 12 months, or 10 million valid public Shorts views in the last 90 days. Additional requirements include no active Community Guidelines strikes, an active AdSense account, and compliance with YouTube's monetization policies.

YouTube does not expose valid watch hours, valid Shorts views for YPP, or review/approval status through its public API. These metrics are only accessible to the channel owner via YouTube Studio → Earn. Any tool claiming to show these figures is guessing.
