How much do Twitch streamers make?

Income streams

• Subscriptions: a Tier 1 sub is $5.99 in the US. Streamers keep 50% by default; Partner Plus can raise that to 60% or 70%.
• Bits: streamers get $0.01 for every bit cheered.
• Ads: a share of ads shown during streams; depends on viewers and their country.

Becoming an Affiliate

In the last 30 days: at least 50 followers, 500 total minutes streamed on 7 separate days, and an average of 3 concurrent viewers. Affiliate status unlocks subs, bits and ads.

Example (US)

200 subs at a 50% split: 200 × $5.99 × 0.5 = $599. Add 5,000 bits (≈ $50) and ad revenue from 80 hours streamed to 150 average viewers. See every line together in our Twitch money calculator.
