Mathematical Audit

How YouTube Super Thanks Revenue Is Calculated

YouTube Super Thanks allows viewers to purchase one-time tip animations ($2, $5, $10, or $50) on videos and Shorts. Creators receive 70% of the gross amount after taxes and fees.

Longform Super Thanks = Monthly Views × Super Thanks Rate (%) × Avg Tip Amount
Shorts Super Thanks = Shorts Views × Shorts Tip Rate (%) × Avg Tip Amount
Gross Monthly Revenue = Longform Super Thanks + Shorts Super Thanks
Net Creator Revenue = Gross Revenue × Creator Share (70%)
Annual Revenue = Net Monthly Revenue × 12

YouTube takes a 30% cut of all Super Thanks purchases. Transaction costs and credit card fees are covered by YouTube. On iOS, Apple's App Store commission may reduce the creator's share further. Super Thanks is available in four price tiers: $2, $5, $10, and $50.
