Reviewed by Calculator Editorial Team

Estimate your potential Twitch earnings with our free Twitch Money Calculator. Calculate income from subscriptions, bits, donations, and ad revenue to plan your streaming career.

How the Twitch Money Calculator Works

The Twitch Money Calculator estimates your potential earnings based on several key factors:

  • Number of subscribers and subscription tier
  • Bits received and their value
  • Donations and their amounts
  • Ad revenue from Twitch
  • Streaming hours per week

The calculator uses standard Twitch payout rates and assumes a 5% Twitch cut from all income sources. You can adjust these assumptions to match your specific situation.

Note: Actual earnings may vary based on Twitch's payout policies, regional differences, and other factors not accounted for in this calculator.

How to Use This Calculator

  1. Enter your estimated number of subscribers and select their tier (Tier 1, Tier 2, or Tier 3)
  2. Input your average weekly bits received and their value
  3. Add any regular donations and their amounts
  4. Estimate your weekly ad revenue from Twitch
  5. Enter the number of hours you stream per week
  6. Click "Calculate" to see your estimated monthly earnings

The calculator will show you your estimated monthly income from each source and your total earnings.

Formula Used

Monthly Subscriptions Income:

((Number of Subscribers × Subscription Tier Price) × 4) × (1 - Twitch Cut)

Monthly Bits Income:

(Average Weekly Bits × Bit Value) × 4 × (1 - Twitch Cut)

Monthly Donations Income:

(Average Weekly Donations × Donation Amount) × 4 × (1 - Twitch Cut)

Monthly Ad Revenue:

(Ad Revenue per Hour × Streaming Hours per Week) × 4 × (1 - Twitch Cut)

Total Monthly Earnings:

Subscriptions + Bits + Donations + Ad Revenue

Where Twitch Cut is 5% (0.05) by default, but you can adjust this value in the calculator.
