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

Enter your current follower count

Type your current Twitch follower count. The Affiliate gate is 25 followers (cumulative).

Step 02

Enter your stream cadence

Streams per week and average hours per stream — these drive the broadcast-minutes and broadcast-days projections.

Step 03

Enter your average concurrent viewers

Use your current 30-day average CCV from the Creator Dashboard. The Affiliate gate is 3 average CCV.

Step 04

Read the bottleneck and weeks-to-go

The result card shows the slowest-clearing gate. Fixing the bottleneck has higher marginal return than optimising gates already on track.

FAQ · methodology & caveats

Frequently asked.

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

What are the Twitch Affiliate requirements in 2026?

Four conditions: 25 lifetime followers (cumulative — NOT inside the rolling window), plus three rolling-30-day gates: 4 hours (240 minutes) of broadcast time, 4 different broadcast days, and an average of 3 concurrent viewers on those days. Twitch lowered the Affiliate requirements in June 2026 under "Monetization for All" — the old 50 followers / 8 hours / 7 days bar no longer applies. 2FA is required.

Are the requirements really 25 followers / 4 hours now?

Yes. Twitch lowered the Affiliate eligibility bar in June 2026 to 25 followers, 4 hours streamed, 4 different broadcast days, and an average of 3 concurrent viewers on those days — all inside a rolling 30-day window, with 2FA enabled. The older 50 followers / 8 hours / 7 days numbers are now outdated.

How accurate is the weeks-to-Affiliate estimate?

The estimate uses a ~2% view-to-follow conversion rate and assumes your current stream cadence continues. Real growth is spiky. A good guest collab or a lucky raid can halve the timeline; a quiet month doubles it. Treat the result as a bottleneck diagnostic, not a precise prediction.

I have 25 followers but zero concurrent viewers. What do I do?

Follower count is a lifetime counter; concurrent viewers is a rolling average. If you have followers but no CCV, those followers are not watching the live streams. Fix scheduling, pre-stream promotion, and consider a small paid-viewer bootstrap to get past the browse-page cold-start problem.

Can the calculator plan for Partner instead of Affiliate?

Yes — a Partner-trajectory horizon is shown below the result. It uses the commonly-cited 75 average CCV / 30 days reference point and projects how long that takes at your follower-growth rate. Partner is invite-only with a content-quality review on top of the numeric signal, so the horizon is approximate.

Does the tool store my inputs?

No. It is pure client-side JavaScript. Inputs are encoded into the URL so you can share a link, but no network request is made with your numbers.
