Enter the price of a camera, mic, or lens plus your views and upload cadence. This tool gives the months to payback and a straight buy or wait verdict tied to your real revenue.
Monthly revenue is your average views times uploads per month, divided by 1,000, times your niche RPM. Payback is the gear price divided by that monthly revenue. Under six months is a buy, up to eighteen months is fine if you keep creating, and longer than that is a wait because it exceeds most gear's useful life.
Leave the uplift field at zero for full-cost mode (does the gear pay back from all attributable revenue). If the gear only adds incremental views, enter that percentage and the payback reflects just the extra it earns. Resale value and tax depreciation are not modeled.
