Such calculators are worthless. There are tens in not hundreds of factors to determine ad revenue.

I'm small fish here, but since question was asked I will share. https://random.country/ brings me around 40$ passive income monthly. Around 5K visitors monthly. Probably it could bring me more money with one more ad.
Many people have commented that their revenue has dropped due to Ad blockers. Can you suggest any alternate business model for side projects other than ads
Charge money for your product/service/content?
I pay for many services, but there are also many services I would never pay for, but happily would put up with ads. To me, your suggestion implies that enough people with ad blockers would otherwise pay for all ad-supported services. I doubt that.
I have an adwords site that sends affiliate traffic to a few merchants. I currently pull in about $300k/year in revenue and $80-$100k/year in profit. I use a number of credits cards for the ads to get points, so I consider it a source of revenue and vacations. It's not easy to make a site like this and it as been a long road, but a worthwhile one. (Posting anon as I prefer not to disclose revenues publicly)
I also was banned from adsense, for machine generated content. Regardless, I really like amazon and my product you can't really use adblock, so I put together a website that monitors amazon daily prices.
I get most of my hits on facebook feed.
Regardless I don't make as much money as I would like, but it gives me something to do when my job is annoying me.

By mentioning this, a good fraction of the 300K Hacker News daily uniques will visit your site as I did, and some may be gourmands. Excellent uncluttered presentation and mouth-watering photography by the way. On the other hand, you tipped off the largest gathering of highly motivated, entrepreneurial web deve…
I think it's been proven this fear is overstated. Startup ideas are rarely stolen.
I hate to hijack, but I'm facing the exact same issue you are. The rates that I've heard quoted for AdSense just aren't happening for me. My rates are very similar to yours, samblr. I think that part of my problem (and it could be yours) is that I don't have a ton of written content around my free giveaways, which is the core of my site. Basically: plenty of cake, very little frosting. Can anyone offer advice for inc…

I was wondering how you monetized it, until I realized my ad blocker was probably blocking everything...
Yeah, same here, sorry.
