How Twitch sub revenue works

Twitch sells channel subscriptions in three tiers: Tier 1 at $4.99/mo, Tier 2 at $9.99/mo, and Tier 3 at $24.99/mo. That price is the gross — what the viewer pays. The streamer keeps a share of it set by their revenue split. The default Affiliate and Partner split is 50/50: Twitch keeps half of every sub. Through the Plus Program the streamer side climbs to 60/40 (≥100 Plus Points) and then 70/30 (≥300 Plus Points), each held three consecutive months to lock in. At 70/30 the streamer keeps 70% of gross instead of 50%.

What this calculator shows

Enter how many Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3 subs you have and pick your split. The big number is your net monthly payout — gross sub revenue multiplied by your split factor (0.50, 0.60, or 0.70). The breakdown stats show gross, the figure after a 15.3% self-employment-tax floor, and your current Plus Points total so you can see which tier you actually qualify for. Everything recalculates instantly and runs client-side, so a shared link reproduces the exact same result.

Monthly net at the 50/50 split (Tier 1)

At the default 50/50 split a $4.99 Tier-1 sub nets the streamer $2.50. Multiply by your sub count for the monthly net before tax.

Tier-1 subsNet at 50/50 (USD/mo)
10$25.00
25$62.50
50$125.00
100$250.00
250$625.00
500$1,250.00

Net = subs × $2.50 at the 50/50 split. On the 70/30 Plus tier each Tier-1 sub nets $3.49 instead — so 100 subs nets $349.00. Use the calculator above for any custom T1 / T2 / T3 mix and split.

When and how streamers get paid

  • Schedule: monthly, on a NET 15 cycle. Last month's earnings settle on or around the 15th of the following month.
  • Minimum: a $50 minimum balance is required to trigger a payout ($100 on wire transfer). Below the threshold the balance rolls forward to the next month.
  • Tax note: for US streamers, sub income is self-employment income — the calculator's "After 15.3% SE" stat shows the SE-tax floor, on top of which you still owe income tax.

Gifted and Prime subs

Gifted subs pay the streamer at the current split, exactly like a regular paid sub of the same tier — a gifted Tier-1 nets $2.50 at 50/50 or $3.49 at 70/30. The catch: gifted subs do not count toward Plus Points, so a wave of gifts won't push you into the 60/40 or 70/30 tier. Prime subs are different again: they pay the streamer at a lower fixed base rate (around $2.50 before the Plus Program multipliers apply) and their count swings month to month with Amazon Prime usage, which is why this calculator counts only paid Tier 1/2/3 subs.

FAQ · methodology & caveats

Frequently asked.

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

What is the Twitch revenue split in 2026?
Default Affiliate / Partner split is 50/50 — Twitch keeps half of every sub. The Plus Program (announced Jan 24, 2024) introduced two upgraded tiers: 60/40 for streamers with ≥100 Plus Points and 70/30 for ≥300 Plus Points. Plus Points = T1 subs × 1 + T2 × 2 + T3 × 6. The tier must be held for 3 consecutive months to lock in.
What is a Plus Point?
A Plus Point is a sub-weighted unit. One Tier 1 sub = 1 PP. One Tier 2 sub = 2 PP (since T2 is roughly 2× T1's revenue). One Tier 3 sub = 6 PP. Plus Points are recalculated monthly. ≥100 PP for 3 consecutive months → 60/40 tier. ≥300 PP for 3 consecutive months → 70/30 tier.
How does the calculator account for self-employment tax?
For US streamers, Twitch sub income is self-employment income. SE tax is 15.3% (12.4% Social Security on the first $184,500 per the 2026 SSA wage base + 2.9% Medicare uncapped + 0.9% Medicare surcharge above $200K single / $250K MFJ). The "After 15.3% SE tax" stat shows the SE-tax floor — you still owe federal + state income tax on top. Full bracket math lives in /streamer-tax-estimator.
Does the calculator include Prime subs or gifts?
No — only paid Tier 1/2/3 subs are counted. Prime subs pay the streamer differently (~$2.50 base rate before the Plus Program multipliers apply) and Prime sub count varies by month based on Amazon Prime user demographics, so it's out of scope for a deterministic calculator.
When do streamers actually receive sub payout?
Twitch pays out monthly on NET 15 schedule with a $50 minimum threshold ($100 on wire transfer). Last month's earnings settle on or around the 15th of the following month. Below threshold the balance rolls forward.
