About the YouTube Monetization Checker
The YouTube Monetization Checker looks up a channel's public subscriber count and compares it against the YouTube Partner Program's 1,000-subscriber requirement. Paste a channel URL or @handle — or any video URL and we'll resolve its channel automatically. The program also needs 4,000 public watch hours (or 10M Shorts views), which YouTube doesn't expose publicly, so this tool confirms the subscriber criterion and flags the rest as unverifiable. It's a quick eligibility estimate, not confirmation that a channel is actually monetized.
Frequently asked questions
What are the monetization requirements?
The YouTube Partner Program requires 1,000 subscribers plus 4,000 public watch hours in 12 months, or 1,000 subscribers plus 10M valid Shorts views in 90 days — then a review.
Can you tell if a channel is definitely monetized?
No. Watch hours and program approval aren't public, so we can only confirm the subscriber threshold and estimate eligibility.
