Estimated Earnings on Adsense

“In order to be more transparent about how our system calculates earnings, we’ve added the words “Estimated” and “Finalized” next to “Earnings” throughout your account. Rest assured these terminology changes don’t reflect a change to the way your finalized earnings are calculated. It’s simply intended to give you a clearer idea of what’s our estimation of your earnings and what’s finalized.”, says Adsense blog.

You might have noticed two different earnings on the Overview and Advanced Reports pages few times as earnings on your Overview and Advanced Reports pages reflect initial estimations based on clicks while they are still subjected to verification for accuracy. This change in Adsense will surely make some difference but the difference will vary from publisher to publisher.

However, this change is only a display change, and the finalized earnings will continue to be calculated and credited as before.
