Hahaha unfortunately you can only really trust Finalised Earnings, google adsense has this but Estimations are just that, and give a good idea.. its why if you go on say socialblade and look at a popular youtuber there yearly estimations sometimes say like 32k-460k Thats a BIG gapSo If I can rely on my estimated, what could trust? hahaha

Youtube is not going to answer your email. I will tell you that. Estimations are estimates. Not exact figures. If you made $5 one month, and it dropped the next month, that is not YT that is your channel. The way adsense works is that EACH ad CHOOSES what value your audience is their company. One ad company may pay higher per 1k views than another company. There is no way of measuring how much you will be paid. Some say $1 per 1k views, but that is not true.
If you "made" more one month, and less the next... That could be because different ads are showing up on your videos, or you have less views this month than the last.
Besides you have 37 subscribers. You SHOULD NOT be worrying about ad revenue at this stage of your channel, and worry about quality content more. You will never see a single penny if you don't each $100, and that is a ways away for you. So don't focus on money, and focus on quality.
So I pulled this from Adsense.com
Note:
Were you looking at estimated or finalized revenue?
- Estimated revenue may differ from finalized payments due to various adjustments and do not include partner-sold and partner-served advertising revenue.
- Earnings data typically displays 24-48 hours after the end of the day, Pacific Time. Sometimes it might take a couple of days longer to appear, in this case, please check back again later.
- Finalized revenue can be found in the downloadable monthly reports approximately 10 days after month end and are visible on the AdSense payment page within 15 days after a month’s end.
I find it interesting when people talk about the difference between the 2, because my YouTube estimate is usually really close. For example, for 2016:You should just ignore the YouTube estimated revenue as even after YTs cut I still find it at least another 20% lower when it hits my Adsense account as a finalised earning.
So now I just check Adsense around the 15th of each money to see how much I made the previous month.
