How Twitch pays creators

Twitch income stacks three streams: channel subscriptions (you keep 50%, or 70% on the first $100k for eligible Partners), Bits at $0.01 each, and ad revenue paid on a CPM basis.

  • Standard sub split is 50/50. A Tier 1 sub at $4.99 nets you about $2.50.
  • Bits are worth exactly $0.01 each to the streamer, regardless of what the viewer paid.
  • Ad revenue is small for most streamers — subs and Bits usually make up 70–90% of income.

These are estimates, not guarantees. Creator payouts vary widely with watch time, seasonality, advertiser demand, and platform policy changes. Figures are modelled from publicly reported creator RPMs and published rate cards — see our methodology for how each band was derived. Nothing here is financial advice.

About the Twitch Money Calculator

Twitch income stacks three streams that behave very differently, and the mistake most streamers make is optimising the smallest one. Channel subscriptions are the backbone: the standard split is 50/50, so a Tier 1 subscription at $4.99 nets you about $2.50, with eligible Partners able to negotiate 70 percent on their first $100,000. Bits are simpler — each Bit is worth exactly one cent to you regardless of what the viewer paid for it. Ad revenue is real but small for most channels, running roughly $1.50 to $6.00 per 1,000 ad impressions, and running more ads reliably costs you viewers. Across the vast majority of Affiliate and Partner channels, subs and Bits together account for 70 to 90 percent of platform income, with sponsorships often exceeding all three combined once a channel is established. This calculator adds them up so you can see the real mix.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does Twitch pay per subscriber?
The standard split is 50/50, so a Tier 1 subscription at $4.99 nets the streamer about $2.50. Some established Partners have a 70/30 split on their first $100,000 in annual sub revenue. Tier 2 and Tier 3 subs pay proportionally more.
How much is 1,000 Bits worth on Twitch?
Exactly $10. Each Bit is worth one cent to the streamer regardless of the bundle price the viewer paid, so Bits are the most predictable line in any Twitch income estimate.
How much do Twitch streamers make with 100 subscribers?
About $250 a month from subscriptions alone at the standard split. Add Bits, ad revenue, and donations and a 100-sub channel commonly clears $400 to $700 monthly, though this varies enormously with how generous a community is.
How much does Twitch pay for ads?
Ad revenue runs roughly $1.50 to $6.00 per 1,000 ad impressions, paid on a CPM basis. For most streamers this is a minor line item, and running frequent ad breaks tends to cost more in lost viewers than it earns.
What is the difference between Twitch Affiliate and Partner?
Affiliate unlocks subscriptions, Bits, and ad revenue at a relatively low threshold — 50 followers, 500 total minutes broadcast, 7 unique broadcast days, and an average of 3 concurrent viewers over 30 days. Partner adds better negotiating position, more emotes, and eligibility for improved revenue terms.
Do most Twitch streamers make money from Twitch itself?
Established streamers typically earn more from sponsorships and off-platform income than from subs, Bits, and ads combined. Platform income is the reliable base; brand deals are the upside.
