YouTube Subscriber Milestone Calculator
See how many subscribers the next milestones need and about how long each takes at your recent pace.
Net gain, from Studio.
28 matches Studio’s default.
Enter your subscribers and your recent gain to see the next milestones.
Good to know
- For the pace, use net new subscribers over a recent period. In Studio, Analytics shows the subscribers gained for the last 28 days. Enter the gain and the number of days, or type the daily figure in directly.
- The dates draw a straight line at that daily pace. Real growth is uneven, so far-off dates are a rough idea, not a forecast.
- Creator Awards, such as the Silver Play Button at 100,000 subscribers, have their own rules and review. A subscriber count alone does not earn one. Check YouTube Help.
- A subscriber milestone is not the same as Partner Program eligibility, which also needs watch hours. The Monetization Tracker covers both.

About the Subscriber Milestone Calculator
?What the milestone calculator does
It lists the next round-number subscriber milestones above your current count and shows how many subscribers each one needs and about how long it takes at your recent daily gain.
The dates draw a straight line at that daily pace. Real growth is uneven, so treat far-off dates as a rough idea. Everything runs in your browser.

Example:
That is 4.29 a day, so the 1,600 you need for 5,000 takes about 374 days.
A further milestone
The same channel and pace.
Example:
6,600 to reach 10,000 takes about 1,540 days, or about 4.2 years, which shows how much faster growth would have to be.
No recent gain entered
Only the subscriber count.
Example:
The table shows what is still needed for each milestone, without dates.
♥Limits to know about
A line, not a forecast
Growth comes in bursts, so dates are a rough idea.
Awards have rules
Creator Awards need more than a subscriber count, so check YouTube Help.
Not monetization
