About ToolsVault
ToolsVault publishes free creator earnings calculators — for YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, Twitch, and Vimeo — alongside more than 100 developer and everyday utilities. All of it runs in your browser, and none of it costs anything.
Why the site exists
Two problems, one site. The first is that creator earnings information online is mostly garbage: calculators that multiply views by a single hard-coded rate, blog posts quoting a "YouTube pays $X per 1,000 views" figure with no source, and rate-card advice that ignores the two variables — content niche and audience geography — that actually determine what a creator earns. Our calculators model those variables explicitly, report a range instead of a false point estimate, and document every assumption on the methodology page.
The second is that most online utility tools route your input through a server. That is a problem when the input is sensitive: a JWT from a real user session, an API response with customer data, or a password you are about to use. Every tool here was built to run entirely in your browser using web standards like the Web Crypto API and the native JSON parser.
How our earnings estimates are researched
Each platform's baseline rates are assembled from published platform revenue-share terms, published monetisation eligibility thresholds, aggregated creator-reported RPMs, and publicly quoted influencer rate cards. Those baselines are then adjusted by niche and audience-country multipliers. Every number, formula, and multiplier is published in full on the methodology page, along with an honest list of what the model cannot account for.
Platform monetisation terms change frequently. Calculator pages carry a last-updated date, and we revise the underlying rates when platforms change their programs. If you have analytics data showing one of our ranges is wrong, send it through the contact page — corrections are logged on the methodology page.
What "client-side" actually means here
- No accounts. No sign-up, no email gate, no email capture of any kind.
- No telemetry on your input. The views, follower counts, text, and files you put into a tool are processed by JavaScript in your tab and discarded when you close it.
- Standard site analytics, disclosed. We use Google Analytics for page-view counts and Google AdSense to fund the site. Both set cookies, both are described in the privacy policy, and both respect the consent choice you make on your first visit.
- Verifiable. Open your browser's DevTools Network tab on any tool page. You will see no outgoing requests as you use the tool — only the initial page load, analytics, and ads.
How the site is funded
ToolsVault is free and ad-supported. Display advertising through Google AdSense covers hosting and the time spent maintaining the tools. We do not sell data, we do not run sponsored calculators, and no advertiser has any influence over the rates published in our earnings models or the methodology behind them. Where we link to a third-party product, that link is a plain link unless explicitly labelled otherwise.
How the site is built
Astro for static site generation, React for the interactive calculators, Tailwind CSS for styling, deployed as a fully static site on Netlify. There is no application backend handling your data — the only server endpoint on the entire site is the one used by the SEO checker tool to fetch public meta tags from a URL you supply.
What this site is not
- Not financial advice. The earnings calculators are planning and benchmarking tools. They estimate a range; they do not predict your income, and they should not be the sole basis for a financial decision.
- Not affiliated with any platform. ToolsVault has no relationship with YouTube, TikTok, Meta, Twitch, or Vimeo. Platform names are used descriptively, and all program details come from public documentation.
- Not a SaaS product. There is no paid tier, no waitlist, and no upsell.
