ToolNestFree Twitch Subscriber & Bits Revenue Calculator
Last updated: October 9, 2026
Quick answer: How much does a Twitch streamer actually take home? This free Twitch subscriber revenue calculator combines the three income streams Twitch pays directly — subscriptions at Tier 1/2/3 prices, Bits cheered by viewers, and ad revenue — then applies your Affiliate (50/50) or Partner split to show your real monthly and yearly payout. Set an optional income goal to see exactly how many more subs you need, or price out a gifted-sub event. Everything computes in your browser — nothing is sent anywhere.

Twitch Sub & Bits Revenue Calculator vs Alternatives
- sagecalculator.com's Twitch money calculator: Covers subs, bits, and ads with per-tier sub tables — but uses a fixed revenue split with no custom split input, no revenue-goal math, and no gifted-sub pricing.
- kudos.tv's sub calculator: Excellent per-tier subscription tables and gifted-sub costing, but it's subs only — Bits, ads, and goal planning aren't covered.
- livereacting.com's subscriber calculator: A detailed sub calculator with Affiliate/Partner split tiers — subs-focused, so bits, ads, and goal planning live in separate tools.
- A manual spreadsheet: Total flexibility, but most use stale split figures and the math drifts with every edit. This bakes in current prices and recomputes instantly.
Bottom line: if you want subs, Bits, and ads in one honest estimate — with a custom revenue split, a goal planner, and gifted-sub pricing — this page does it in seconds.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a streamer earn per Twitch sub?
At the standard 50/50 Affiliate split, a streamer keeps roughly $2.50 per Tier 1 sub ($4.99), $5.00 per Tier 2 ($9.99), and $12.50 per Tier 3 ($24.99). Partners on a 70% split keep about $3.49, $6.99, and $17.49. Regional pricing means some subs are worth less in local currencies.
What is the difference between Twitch Affiliate and Partner splits?
Affiliates split subscription revenue 50/50 with Twitch. Partners have been offered 70/30 on net subscription revenue (under Partner Plus terms this applied to the first $100,000 per year, reverting to 50/50 after). Splits vary by contract, so the calculator includes a Custom option — enter the percentage from your own dashboard.
How much are Bits worth?
Exactly $0.01 each to the streamer: 1,000 Bits = $10. Note viewers pay more than $0.01 per bit when purchasing them — Twitch keeps the margin; the streamer's side is a flat penny per bit.
How does Twitch ad revenue work?
Streamers keep about 55% of the ad revenue their channel generates. Ad CPMs typically run $2–$10 depending on audience, season, and region. The calculator applies the 55% creator share automatically — many estimators skip this and overstate ad income.
When does Twitch pay out?
Twitch issues payouts roughly 15 days after the end of the month, once your balance clears the $50 minimum threshold. Smaller balances roll forward to the next month.
Why is my actual payout lower than this estimate?
The usual suspects: regional sub pricing (subscriptions cost less in many countries), tax withholding, payout method fees, and months with refunds or chargebacks. Treat this as a planning estimate, not a payslip.
