Calculator below. Enter the number of paid recurring subs you have at each tier. Picks Plus Program split: 50/50 default, 60/40 at 100 Plus Points held 3 months, 70/30 at 300 PP held 3 months. Shows monthly net + Plus Points + US SE-tax floor. Gifted and Prime subs don\'t count toward Plus Points qualification — so leave them out of the inputs.
Per-tier net
- 50 × Tier 1 sub = $249.50 gross → $124.75 net
How the calculator works
Three inputs (Tier 1 / 2 / 3 paid recurring sub counts) plus one split choice (50/50, 60/40, or 70/30 Plus tier). The math is straightforward: Tier 1 = $4.99 × count, Tier 2 = $9.99 × count, Tier 3 = $24.99 × count, sum = monthly gross. The streamer keeps the split percentage. The US SE-tax line subtracts the 15.3% self-employment baseline as a quick floor — federal income tax and state tax stack on top.
Plus Points scoring
Plus Points are weighted by tier: Tier 1 = 1 PP, Tier 2 = 2 PP, Tier 3 = 6 PP per month each subscriber renews. So 100 Tier 1 subs = 100 PP; 100 Tier 1 + 25 Tier 2 + 10 Tier 3 = 100 + 50 + 60 = 210 PP. The calculator surfaces your current month\'s score and the gap to the next tier. Note: gifted subs and Prime subs are excluded from PP accumulation — leave them out of the inputs if you want an accurate Plus Points read.
What "held 3 consecutive months" means
Plus Program qualification requires holding the PP threshold for three consecutive calendar months. So a streamer hitting 100 PP in May has to also hit ≥100 PP in June and July before the 60/40 tier activates. A one-month dip resets the counter. Once activated, the tier locks in for 12 consecutive months — even if PP drops below the threshold mid-tier. After the 12-month window, re-qualification runs on the most recent 3-month rolling PP level.
FAQ
How does the calculator handle Plus Program tiers?
Pick the split that matches your current Plus Program status: 50/50 (default Affiliate or Partner), 60/40 (≥100 Plus Points held 3 consecutive months), or 70/30 (≥300 PP held 3 months). The calculator shows net payout at the chosen tier and computes your current Plus Points score so you can see how far from the next tier you are.
Are gifted subs and Prime subs included?
Enter only paid recurring subs. Gifted subs and Prime subs do NOT contribute to Plus Points (Twitch excludes them to prevent buy-in to the 70/30 tier). They do contribute to your monthly payout though — separately. The calculator focuses on Plus-Program-eligible recurring subs.
What does the SE tax line show?
Estimated US take-home after the 15.3% Self-Employment tax baseline (12.4% Social Security + 2.9% Medicare). This is a floor — federal income tax (10-37% bracket) and state tax stack on top. For full take-home math across US / UK / EU jurisdictions use the streamer-tax-estimator.
Are these Twitch numbers accurate?
Tier prices ($4.99 / $9.99 / $24.99) are Twitch web list price as of 2026-05. Plus Program tiers (60/40 at 100 PP, 70/30 at 300 PP) reflect Twitch's January 2024 overhaul. Plus Points weighting (T1 = 1, T2 = 2, T3 = 6 per month) is per Twitch's published Plus Program documentation. Mobile in-app prices add ~30% on the viewer side but the streamer net is uniform — so the calculator works on web-equivalent paid-sub counts.
