When will you hit your next milestone?
Divide what’s left to your goal by what you gain a day. Type your handle and a goal: you get the date at your real pace and the weekly gain that gets you there sooner.
Milestones with a deadline
| Goal | Count you need | Also needed |
|---|---|---|
| YouTube Partner Program (ad revenue) | 1,000 subscribers | 4,000 watch hours in 12 months, or Shorts views |
| YouTube fan funding | 500 subscribers | 3,000 watch hours in 12 months, or Shorts views |
| Twitch Affiliate | 25 followers | 4 hours on 4 days, 3 average viewers, in 30 days |
| Twitch Partner | No follower bar | 6 streams averaging 75 viewers, 2 months in a row |
How long does it take to get 1,000 subscribers?
It depends on your pace. Say you have 640 subscribers and gained 56 in the last 28 days: that’s 14 a week, so the 360 you still need take about 180 days. To get there in 3 months instead, you’d need about +28 a week.
How this tool counts
- Counts are live: YouTube, Twitch, Bluesky and GitHub from their public APIs, X for accounts CountDeck already tracks. YouTube rounds counts above 1,000 to 3 significant figures.
- The date is what’s left ÷ your daily pace. A slow month moves it, which is why the app updates it every day.
- Nothing about the accounts you check is stored by this page. No login, no ad or tracking SDKs.
- YouTube lookups use YouTube API Services, under the YouTube Terms of Service and the Google Privacy Policy.

Questions people ask
When will I hit 1,000 subscribers?
Divide the subscribers you still need by what you gain per day. The forecaster does it with your live count and your real pace, and shows what a week needs to look like to get there sooner.
Where does the pace come from?
Best first: the gain you type from your last 28 days, then the history CountDeck tracked for the account (a week or more), then your lifetime average (count ÷ account age). The result says which one it used.
How many subscribers do you need for the YouTube Partner Program?
1,000 subscribers for ad revenue, plus 4,000 watch hours in 12 months or Shorts views. A lower tier at 500 subscribers unlocks fan funding. The YouTube monetization checker has the full rules, including the 2027 change.
How many followers do you need for Twitch Affiliate?
25 followers, plus 4 hours streamed on 4 different days and an average of 3 viewers on 4 of those days, all in the same 30 days. The Twitch Affiliate checker reads all of it except viewers, which Twitch keeps private.
Can it read my TikTok or Instagram?
Not yet. Pick TikTok or Instagram, type your follower count and what you gained in the last 28 days, and you get the same forecast.
Is my growth good?
There’s no typical number, so the forecaster compares your pace with your goal: on pace, or how many times faster you need to grow. Set a date to see it.
Can I see this countdown on my phone?
Yes. CountDeck puts your live count and your goal on your Home Screen and Lock Screen, with the date at your pace updated every day. It’s free for one account.
