Online income
Model traffic before expecting revenue
Ad revenue depends on pageviews, geography, niche, ad placement, consent choices, seasonality, and advertiser demand.
The calculator lets you change traffic and RPM assumptions quickly, then compare ad revenue with affiliate and subscription income in the same view.
- Start with conservative pageview and RPM assumptions.
- Separate ad revenue from affiliate and subscription income.
- Retest scenarios when traffic, content mix, or monetisation changes.
AdSense caveat
Use RPM as a scenario input
AdSense RPM is a useful shorthand, but it is not fixed. The same site can see different RPMs by page, audience, season, and consent status.
Use the calculator to understand sensitivity rather than to promise a future income number.
- Test low, medium, and high RPM scenarios.
- Watch which pages actually attract traffic before optimising ads.
- Keep privacy and cookie disclosures aligned with the tracking and advertising tools you enable.
