FOR TWITCH STREAMERS

The dashboard number isn't your payout. Take-home is.

"$414 in sub revenue this month" is not what lands in your bank account — your revenue split (50% by default, or 60%/70% under the Plus Program) cuts subs, Bits pay a flat $0.01 each, and mobile subs pay exactly the same as desktop ones despite what the app store fee headlines suggest. This free calculator finds your real monthly take-home and checks it against an income goal.

Your month

Subs by tier

Include gifted subs in the tier they were gifted at — the giver pays, but your payout works the same as any other sub. Include mobile-purchased subs in the same counts too: your payout per sub is the same regardless of platform (see the linked explainer above).

Plus Points (optional)

Plus Points are 1 per Tier 1 sub, 2 per Tier 2 and 6 per Tier 3; Prime subs earn none. Sources disagree on whether gifted subs count, so lower these counts to what your own Twitch dashboard credits. Levels used here: 100 points for 60%, 300 for 70%. Twitch also requires the level to be sustained, so treat the result as a planning view and confirm on your dashboard.

Split & other income

50% is the default split. Sustaining 100 Plus Points for three consecutive months moves you to 60% under Twitch's Plus Program; 300 Plus Points moves you to 70%. Read yours off your own Twitch dashboard. "Other monthly income" is ads, sponsorships, or donations elsewhere — a figure you supply, since Twitch publishes no ad rate this tool could model honestly.

Your numbers above are saved locally in this browser so you don't retype them next time. A shareable link puts the same numbers in the URL fragment — nothing is uploaded.

This is a planning floor from the numbers you typed, not your actual payout statement. It does not model ad revenue, currency conversion, or any promotional rate — fold those into "other monthly income" yourself. It never reads your Twitch account or replaces your own payout dashboard.

Private by default

Everything on this page runs in your browser and nothing is ever uploaded. Your sub counts, prices, split, Bits, other income, and target payout are saved locally on this device so you don't retype them next time — Reset to defaults clears them, and Copy shareable link puts them in a URL fragment your browser never sends anywhere. There is no account. We count only anonymous local feature events (month-priced, gap-checked, link-copied, reset) so we can tell whether the calculator gets used — no sub counts, Bits totals, or income figures are recorded, and Do Not Track / Global Privacy Control turn it off automatically.

Common questions

Does a subscription bought on mobile pay me less because of Apple or Google's cut?

No, as of Twitch's October 2024 pricing change. Twitch charges more for a mobile subscription specifically to cover the app store's in-app-purchase fee, so your payout per sub is the same whether the viewer bought it on desktop or in the iOS/Android app. Enter your web tier price here either way — see the worked explainer.

Why is the revenue split 50% for some streamers and 60% or 70% for others?

Everyone starts at 50% of subscription revenue. Affiliates and Partners who sustain 100 Plus Points for three consecutive months move to 60% under Twitch's Plus Program, and those who reach 300 Plus Points move to 70%. Plus Points come only from subs — 1 point per Tier 1, 2 per Tier 2, 6 per Tier 3; Prime subs earn none, and sources disagree on gifted subs, so check what your dashboard credits. This is the one number that actually changes your payout per sub — read your own current split off your Twitch dashboard rather than assuming one.

Why don't Bits follow the same split as subs?

A cheered Bit is worth a flat $0.01 to the streamer no matter what the viewer paid for the Bits bundle or what the streamer's subscription split is — Twitch's own cut is already built into what a viewer pays for Bits before the streamer ever sees the cheer. So Bits income is not reduced by a 50% or 70% split the way sub revenue is.

Does this tool estimate ad revenue?

No. Twitch publishes no standard ad CPM a static calculator could model honestly, and ad payouts vary by campaign and channel. Enter any ad revenue, sponsorship, or other income as the single "other monthly income" figure instead — this tool only computes the parts with documented, deterministic mechanics: subs and Bits.

Does anything about my numbers get uploaded?

No. Every field on this page runs in your browser only. Nothing is sent to a server and there is no account. Your inputs and target are saved locally on this device so you don't retype them, and a shareable link can carry them to another device. Usage counting only tallies anonymous feature events, and you can turn it off with the button above.
