Twitch Bits to USD Calculator
Convert Bits to dollars in a click. See exactly what a cheer pays the streamer and what those Bits cost to buy on web vs. mobile.
What is the Twitch Bits to USD calculator?
Bits are the virtual currency viewers use to cheer in Twitch chat and tip the creators they watch. This free calculator converts Bits into US dollars in two directions: enter an amount of Bits to see exactly what the streamer earns and what those Bits cost to buy, or enter a dollar amount to see how many Bits it buys.
Everything runs instantly in your browser. It updates live as you type, so it doubles as a quick reference whether you are a viewer planning a cheer or a streamer estimating revenue.
How are Bits converted to dollars?
There are two numbers that matter, and they are not the same:
- What the streamer receives. This is exact: 1 Bit = $0.01. So 100 Bits = $1.00, 1,000 Bits = $10.00, and 10,000 Bits = $100.00.
- What the viewer pays. Viewers buy Bits in bundles priced above one cent per Bit. Larger bundles are slightly cheaper per Bit, so the price does not scale in a perfectly straight line.
The calculator uses public web bundle prices and interpolates between them for in-between amounts. Because Apple and Google take a platform fee on in-app purchases, buying Bits inside the iOS or Android app costs roughly 30% more than buying on the Twitch website.
How much do streamers actually make from Bits?
Bits are one of the cleaner revenue streams on Twitch because the split is simple: the creator keeps one cent per Bit. There is no separate platform cut taken out of the cheer itself; the markup sits on the purchase side that the viewer pays.
That said, Bits usually sit alongside subscriptions, ads, and donations rather than carrying a channel on their own. If you are trying to understand your full income picture, pair this with our Sub Calculator to model the bigger lines.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much is 1,000 Bits worth?
1,000 Bits is worth $10.00 to the streamer. As a viewer you would typically pay around $14 to buy 1,000 Bits on the Twitch website, and more inside a mobile app where store fees apply.
How much does a streamer get per Bit?
Exactly $0.01, or one US cent, per Bit. That means 100 Bits pays out $1.00 and 25,000 Bits pays out $250.00.
Why do Bits cost more to buy than they pay out?
Viewers buy Bits in bundles priced above their cent value, and that gap is Twitch's revenue. Buying through the Apple App Store or Google Play adds roughly another 30% on top because of store fees.
Are these numbers official?
The $0.01-per-Bit streamer payout is fixed by Twitch. Bundle purchase prices are based on public web pricing and are estimates that can change or vary by region and promotion.
