About Twitch streamer revenue

Twitch pays streamers primarily through subscriptions (viewers pay a recurring monthly fee across three price tiers) and Bits (a virtual currency viewers cheer with, convertible to cash), with Twitch taking a cut of both before the streamer's settlement — the standard subscription split is 50/50, though some larger or Twitch-favored streamers negotiate a more favorable 70/30 split. This tool estimates your monthly and annual net revenue combining subscriptions, Bits, and any other income you enter.

How the revenue is calculated

Subscription revenue is calculated per tier (Tier 1, 2, 3, each with a different default price you can adjust) as subscriber count × price × your settlement percentage. Bits revenue converts your entered monthly Bit count into dollars at the standard $0.01 per Bit payout rate, then applies the same settlement percentage. All these amounts, plus any other revenue you enter, are summed for your total estimated monthly and annual income.

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between a standard 50/50 split and a 70/30 split?
Most streamers start on the standard 50/50 revenue split, but Twitch has offered improved splits (most commonly 70/30 in the streamer's favor) to select larger or strategically important streamers as a retention incentive — this isn't something you can typically request directly, so use whichever split reflects your actual current partnership terms.
Are subscription prices always exactly $4.99/$9.99/$24.99?
Those are Twitch's standard three subscription tier prices, but this tool lets you adjust them since actual regional pricing, currency conversion, or occasional promotional pricing can cause the amount a subscriber actually pays (and therefore what you're settled from) to differ slightly from the US dollar sticker price.
Does this include ad revenue from Twitch's own advertising program?
No — this calculator specifically models subscription and Bits revenue, the two most direct fan-support income streams on Twitch. Separate ad revenue share, brand sponsorships, or other income sources need to be added manually via the "other income" field for a complete picture.
