Twitch Subscriber Revenue Calculator

Understanding your potential earnings on Twitch is crucial for any aspiring or current streamer. Subscriptions are a primary source of income, but the calculation isn't always straightforward due to different tiers and revenue splits. This calculator helps you estimate your gross monthly revenue from subscribers before taxes and fees.

Estimated Monthly Subscriber Revenue

How Twitch Subscriber Revenue Works

When a viewer subscribes to your channel, they pay a monthly fee. Twitch takes a portion of this fee, and the rest goes to you. The exact amount you receive depends on your status (Affiliate or Partner) and the subscriber's tier.

Subscription Tiers and Costs

Twitch offers three subscription tiers for viewers, each with a different price point:

  • Tier 1: $4.99 USD per month
  • Tier 2: $9.99 USD per month
  • Tier 3: $24.99 USD per month

Additionally, viewers with an Amazon Prime account can subscribe to one channel per month for free through Prime Gaming. For the streamer, a Prime sub pays out the same as a Tier 1 subscription.

Revenue Splits: Affiliate vs. Partner

The percentage of the subscription fee you keep is called the revenue split.

  • Twitch Affiliates: The standard split for Affiliates is 50/50. For a $4.99 Tier 1 sub, you receive approximately $2.50.
  • Twitch Partners: Most Partners also start with a 50/50 split. However, top-tier Partners with a large, consistent viewership can negotiate a more favorable 70/30 split. This is not standard and is reserved for the platform's most successful creators.

Important Note: This calculation is an estimate. Regional subscription pricing, payment processing fees, and taxes can affect your final payout. The revenue is calculated based on standard US pricing.

Example Calculation

Let's say you are a Twitch Affiliate with the following subscriber counts:

  • Tier 1 Subs: 100
  • Tier 2 Subs: 10
  • Tier 3 Subs: 2
  • Prime Gaming Subs: 40

Here's the breakdown of your estimated revenue with a 50% split:

  • Tier 1 Revenue: 100 subs * $4.99 * 0.50 = $249.50
  • Tier 2 Revenue: 10 subs * $9.99 * 0.50 = $49.95
  • Tier 3 Revenue: 2 subs * $24.99 * 0.50 = $24.99
  • Prime Revenue: 40 subs * ~$2.50 (Tier 1 payout) = $100.00

Total Estimated Monthly Revenue: $424.44
