Twitch Revenue Calculator

Work out Twitch streaming income from subscriptions by tier, bits, ad revenue and tips, with your split applied and the platform's cut shown in full.

Prime subs are billed to Amazon rather than the viewer, but they pay out to you at the same Tier 1 rate and the same split — the price box lets you change that if your deal differs.

Bits

Bits pay in full — there is no further split applied to them.

Ads

Direct tips and donations

Tips arrive through your own payment processor, so Twitch takes no cut — only the processor fee of 2.90% plus $0.30 per tip, which comes to $20.50.

Splits, CPMs and thresholds are all inputs because they vary by contract, country and payment method, and none of them can be looked up from a browser. Nothing is fetched from Twitch and no account is connected — the entire calculation runs locally on the numbers you enter.

What is the Twitch Revenue Calculator?

A Twitch revenue calculator that totals subscription income by tier at your own split, adds bits at one cent each, ad revenue from hours watched, and tips net of processing fees, then reports gross, the platform's cut and your net per month and year.

  • All four sub tiers with independent counts and prices, plus Prime handled separately
  • Editable revenue split so both 50/50 and 70/30 contracts are modelled correctly
  • Bits, hours-watched ad revenue and tips each with their own rate
  • Tip processing fees as a percentage plus a fixed amount per transaction
  • A source-by-source table showing gross alongside net to you
  • Months-to-payout-threshold, showing a dash rather than an infinite wait at zero income

How to use the Twitch Revenue Calculator

  1. 1

    Choose your currency and set your subscription split — 50% is standard, 70% applies to some contracts.

  2. 2

    Fill in the count and price for Tier 1, Tier 2, Tier 3 and Prime subs; each row shows its own net contribution as you type.

  3. 3

    Enter monthly bits and the value per bit, then hours watched with your ad CPM and ad share.

  4. 4

    Add your monthly tips, the number of tips, and your processor's percentage and fixed fee.

  5. 5

    Read the gross, platform cut and net figures, then set your payout threshold to see how many months it takes to clear.

About the Twitch Revenue Calculator

Twitch income arrives from four sources that are each split differently, so a single 'per subscriber' figure never tells the truth. Subscriptions are shared with Twitch, bits pay in full, ads are priced against hours watched, and tips arrive through your own processor with a fee attached. This calculator models all four side by side and shows what actually lands in your account.

Tier 1, Tier 2, Tier 3 and Prime subs each get their own count and price, so you can model a real subscriber mix rather than an average. The split is an input too, because 50/70 contracts both exist and the number matters more than any other single figure on the page.

Everything runs locally in your browser — no account is connected, nothing is fetched from Twitch and no data is uploaded. Every rate is an editable default, so the tool stays useful when contract terms or payout thresholds change.

Frequently asked questions

How much does Twitch pay per subscriber?

Under a standard agreement the streamer receives half the subscription price, so a Tier 1 sub is worth roughly two and a half dollars. Some contracts pay 70%. Both are modelled here by editing the split field rather than being baked in.

How much is 1,000 bits worth to a streamer?

Bits pay one cent each to the streamer, so 1,000 bits is about ten dollars. Viewers pay more than that to buy them, but the difference is Twitch's margin on the sale and never reaches your balance.

Do Prime subs pay the same as regular subs?

Yes — a Prime sub pays out at the Tier 1 rate under the same split. The difference is that Amazon covers it as part of the viewer's Prime membership rather than the viewer paying separately, so it costs your community nothing.

How is Twitch ad revenue calculated?

Ads are reported against hours watched rather than raw impressions, so this tool prices them as hours watched × CPM ÷ 1,000 × your share. Rates swing hard with your audience's country and the time of year, so use the figure from your own payouts page.

When does Twitch actually pay out?

Your balance is held until it clears a minimum threshold, and payment then follows on the platform's normal schedule. Set your own threshold in the payout panel and the tool shows how many months of current income it takes to reach it.
