Twitch Revenue Estimator
Estimate monthly Twitch income from subscriptions, Bits, and ad revenue based on viewer count and streaming hours.
Results
What is it?
The Twitch Revenue Estimator models three primary income streams: subscription revenue (subs x tier price x your revenue split), Bits cheering (100 Bits = $1.00 to you), and ad revenue (viewers x ad frequency x hours streamed x CPM). These are the most consistent income sources for most streamers.
How to use
Enter your average concurrent viewers, active sub count, sub tier, Twitch revenue split, monthly Bits, ad frequency, hours streamed, and CPM rate. The calculator splits out each revenue category and shows monthly and annual totals.
Example scenario
100 viewers, 50 Tier 1 subs, 50/50 split, 5,000 Bits/month, 2 ads/hour, 80 hours/month, $2.50 CPM: Sub revenue = $124.75, Bits = $50, Ads = $13.32. Total = approximately $188/month or $2,256/year.
Pro tip
Subscriptions are your most stable income — focus on community retention first. Ad revenue scales heavily with viewer count and becomes more significant at 500+ concurrent viewers. The holiday season (Q4) typically sees CPM rates 2-3x higher than Q1. Diversify with merchandise, Patreon, and brand deals once you exceed 500 average viewers.
