Mathematical Audit

YouTube Ad Block Impact Equations

Measures the difference between your theoretical maximum ad earnings and actual earnings due to ad-blocking software.

Potential Monetized Views = Total Views × Monetized View Rate
Potential Revenue (No Adblock) = (Potential Monetized Views ÷ 1,000) × CPM × (1 - YouTube Share)
Actual Revenue (With Adblock) = Potential Revenue × (1 - Adblock Rate ÷ 100)
Monthly Revenue Loss = Potential Revenue - Actual Revenue
Annual Revenue Loss = Monthly Revenue Loss × 12

Adblockers block ad impressions completely, leading to zero payouts on those views. YouTube Premium views pay out separately and are not affected by browser ad-blockers.
