What is the Twitch sub calculator?
This calculator models an illustrative subscription-revenue scenario. Enter your Tier 1, Tier 2, Tier 3, Prime and gifted-sub counts, then select the creator-share scenario you want to compare.
It runs entirely in your browser and recalculates live as you type. Use the 1 Tier 1 or 100 gifted preset to load the two most common reference questions without re-entering every field.
How is Twitch subscription revenue calculated?
Twitch applies a creator share to net subscription revenue, which is not necessarily the public list price. Local pricing, taxes, payment fees, promotions and the purchase channel can change the amount used for an actual payout.
- Editable reference prices. The Tier 1 field starts at the current US web list price of $5.99. Replace every tier with the price relevant to your market before using the result.
- Creator-share scenarios. Compare the standard 50/50 scenario with Plus Program 60/40 and 70/30 scenarios. Eligibility and limits are determined by Twitch.
- Prime and gifted subs. Enter your creator payout per Prime sub from the Twitch dashboard. Gifted Tier 1 subs use the editable Tier 1 reference, but regional pricing and promotions can change actual net revenue.
The calculator multiplies paid-sub reference values by the selected creator-share scenario, then adds the Prime payout value you enter. It does not claim that retail list price equals Twitch's payout basis.
What this estimate leaves out
Actual statements can reflect local prices, taxes, payment processing, promotions, chargebacks, program terms and other adjustments. Gifted-sub waves also do not automatically renew. Treat the result as a comparison model, not a payout forecast or guarantee. Source assumptions were last reviewed on July 20, 2026.
Subs are also only one revenue line. Cheers, ad revenue, and direct donations stack on top. Use the Bits to USD calculator to estimate the cheering side.
