How to use this Twitch payout calculator

1. Start with subscriptions as your baseline

Begin by entering Tier 1–3 paid subs plus Prime subs. Subs are usually the most stable part of Twitch income, so they anchor the estimate. Then set your creator share on subs to match your current deal. Many creators use 50%, while some programs or contracts offer a higher share.

2. Toggle Bits and Ads only when you need them

The Include Bits and Include Ads toggles keep the form light. Turn Bits on when you have a period total and enter the count; the calculator uses a planning value of $0.01 per Bit. Turn Ads on when you have a reliable gross ad revenue number and a known split. By default, ad share is 50/50 until you change it.

3. Edit tier prices in USD if your region differs

Under Advanced, you can adjust Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3 prices in USD. Prime subs are treated as Tier 1 for planning. If your average payout is higher or lower than classic 4.99 / 9.99 / 24.99 pricing, update these values and rerun the calculation so the sub gross line matches your reality better.

4. Read the payout summary and copy the breakdown

After you calculate, the summary shows a total creator payout in USD plus separate net lines for subs, Bits, and ads when they are enabled. The right-hand column highlights your creator shares, sub gross, platform cut on subs, and basic inputs. Use Copy summary to paste a clean text breakdown into notes, a spreadsheet, or a message to mods or partners.

5. Use the tool for goals, planning, and recaps

For future streams, plug in target sub counts, Bit goals, and ad estimates to see if your monthly payout target is realistic. After streams or months end, enter actual numbers to compare results. Over time you can spot patterns in subs per hour, Bits per viewer, and how much ads contribute, then adjust schedule, content, or offers accordingly.

6. Remember the limits of the estimate

This calculator is a planning tool. It does not include chargebacks, processor fees, tax withholding, or currency conversion. Treat the totals as a useful baseline for conversations with mods, agencies, and partners, then reconcile them against your official Twitch payout reports.

How the Twitch payout math is approximated

Sub gross is the sum of each tier price times its volume, with Prime subs counted as Tier 1. If P1, P2, P3 are the tier prices in USD and N1, N2, N3, NP are the counts for Tier 1, Tier 2, Tier 3, and Prime, then:

Sub gross = (N1 + NP) × P1 + N2 × P2 + N3 × P3.

If s is your creator share on subs as a decimal (for example, 0.5 for 50%), then sub net is:

Sub net = Sub gross × s.

When Bits are enabled, the calculator uses a simple planning value of $0.01 per Bit. If B is the Bit count, then Bits net = B × 0.01. For Ads, if A is the ad revenue before your split in USD and a is your creator share on ads as a decimal (default 0.5 for 50%), then:

Ad net = A × a.

Total payout is the sum of the enabled components:

Total payout = Sub net + Bits net + Ad net.

Blank numeric fields are treated as zero, and blank tier prices fall back to 4.99 / 9.99 / 24.99 USD. All outputs are rounded to two decimal places and are intended for planning and communication, not as an official payout schedule or tax advice.
