How to use this tool

4 steps · ~1 minute

Each step is a single action — no setup, no sign-up. Outputs are client-side; nothing is uploaded.

Step 01

Pick a direction

Toggle between "Bits → USD" (what viewers pay) and "USD → Bits" (what streamers get). Both use real 2026 pricing.

Step 02

Enter an amount

Type any number of Bits in the field below, or tap a preset (100 / 500 / 1,000 / 5,000 / 25,000 — these match Twitch's fixed pack tiers).

Step 03

Read the result

The big number is the total USD figure. The three stats below break it down: per-Bit cost, streamer payout, and Twitch's cut.

Step 04

Share or embed

Use the share-bar to copy a link with your inputs encoded, copy an embed snippet for OBS Browser Source / Discord, or open the per-result OG image.

Twitch Bits to USD: the two rates that matter

A Twitch Bit is worth $0.01 to the streamer — that's the payout side and it's flat: Affiliates and Partners both earn one cent per Bit cheered. The viewer side is more expensive, because viewers buy Bits in fixed packs and Twitch's cut is baked into the pack price. So "how much is 1,000 Bits" has two honest answers: $10.00 to the streamer, but about $14.00 for the viewer who bought the Bits to cheer them.

Bits to USD reference table

Common cheer amounts at 2026 US pricing. Viewer cost uses the cheapest pack combination that reaches the amount; streamer payout is a flat $0.01 per Bit.

BitsViewer pays (USD)Streamer gets (USD)
100$1.40$1.00
500$7.00$5.00
1,000$14.00$10.00

100,000$1,232.00$1,000.00

Viewer prices are US-equivalent — EU / UK add ~20% VAT, AU / JP ~10% GST. The streamer payout ($0.01/Bit) is uniform worldwide. Use the calculator above for any custom amount.

Why bigger Bit packs are cheaper per Bit

Twitch sells Bits in six packs — 100 ($1.40), 500 ($7.00), 1,500 ($19.95), 5,000 ($64.40), 10,000 ($126.00), and 25,000 ($308.00). The per-Bit price drops as the pack grows: the 100-pack is $0.0140/Bit, the 25,000-pack is about $0.0123/Bit. That's why a big cheer costs the viewer less per Bit — but the streamer still receives the same flat $0.01 either way.

When and how streamers get paid

  • Rate: $0.01 per Bit, flat. Hype Train and ad multipliers don't change the per-Bit payout — they only affect Hype Train tier progress.
  • Schedule: monthly, NET 15, with a $50 minimum balance ($100 on wire). Last month's earnings settle around the 15th of the next month.
  • Bits vs subs: 1,000 Bits = $10 to the streamer ≈ four Tier-1 subs at the default 50/50 split ($2.50 each). See the subs guide for the full split math.
FAQ · methodology & caveats

Frequently asked.

Calculator outputs are estimates. Each Q below names the source data and the assumptions baked in.

How are Bits priced for viewers?
Twitch sells Bits in fixed packs from 100 ($1.40) up to 25,000 ($308). Larger packs are cheaper per Bit (the 25k pack works out to $0.01232/Bit vs $0.01400/Bit for the 100 pack). The calculator picks the cheapest combination of packs that hits or exceeds your input. Any residual rounds up to the next-smallest pack — Twitch only sells whole packs.
How much do streamers earn per Bit?
Affiliates and Partners both earn $0.01 per Bit. Twitch absorbs purchase processing fees on its end, so $0.01/Bit is the actual payout with no further split. Hype Train and ad-multiplier promotions do NOT change the per-Bit payout — they only affect Hype Train tier progression.
When do streamers actually receive Bit revenue?
Twitch pays out monthly on NET 15 schedule with a $50 minimum threshold (most payment methods) or $100 on wire transfer. Earnings from the previous month settle on or around the 15th of the following month. Below threshold the balance rolls forward.
Are these prices the same in every country?
Twitch localises Bit-pack pricing by region. The calculator uses US-equivalent pricing. EU/UK buyers typically pay ~20% more (VAT), AU/JP buyers ~10% more (GST), BR varies 10–15%. The streamer payout side ($0.01/Bit) is uniform worldwide.
How does this compare to subs as a revenue source?
1,000 Bits cheered = $10 to the streamer. A Tier-1 sub at $4.99 nets $2.50 on the default 50/50 split or $3.49 on the Plus Program 70/30 tier. So 1,000 Bits ≈ 4 default subs (or ~2.86 Plus-tier subs) by streamer revenue.
