How Much Do Twitch Streamers Make From Subs?
A Tier 1 sub costs $4.99 in the US and pays the streamer $2.50 on the standard 50/50 split, $3.00 at 60/40, and $3.49 at 70/30. Prime subs pay a flat $2.25. Bits pay one cent each, which you can convert with the Twitch Bits Calculator.
The calculator adds all four together so you see one monthly number, and it counts your Plus Points so you know how close you are to a better split.

The Plus Program and Revenue Split
Twitch moves Affiliates and Partners to a better split based on Plus Points held for three months in a row.
- 100 Plus Points: 60/40 split.
- 300 Plus Points: 70/30 split.
- Points per sub: Tier 1 = 1, Tier 2 = 2, Tier 3 = 6. Gifted and Prime subs do not count.
Once you qualify, the new split is locked for 12 months even if your subs dip.

How much do 100 Twitch subs make?
About $250 a month on the standard split if all 100 are Tier 1 subs, $300 at 60/40, and $349 at 70/30. That is before tax. Prime and gifted subs change the total, which is why the calculator lets you enter each type.
How much is 1 bit worth to a streamer?
One cent. Streamers receive $0.01 for every bit cheered, so 10,000 bits pays $100. Viewers pay slightly more than that when buying bits.
Do gifted subs pay the same as regular subs?
Yes. A gifted Tier 1 sub pays the streamer the same share as a regular Tier 1 sub. The difference is that gifted subs do not earn Plus Points, so they do not help you reach a better split.
