Twitch Subscription Calculator
Twitch subscriptions pay the streamer a fixed monthly amount per active sub, depending on tier. Standard split is 50% of the list price (Tier 1 $4.99 → $2.50, Tier 2 $9.99 → $5.00, Tier 3 $24.99 → $12.50). Prime subs count like Tier 1 subs but with a variable token value. This calculator rolls up monthly sub revenue and shows take-home.

Why subs matter more than views
Subscriptions are the predictable floor of a streaming income: they recur monthly and are less volatile than ads or tips. A 1,000-sub Tier-1 channel earns about $2,500/month from subs alone — roughly equivalent to 300k–600k YouTube long-form views per month. Add Bits as the variable upside (typically 20–40% on top).
