Frequently asked questions

How much does a Twitch sub pay the streamer?

On the standard 50/50 split, about $2.50 (Tier 1), $5.00 (Tier 2) and $12.50 (Tier 3). The Plus Program raises this to 60/40 or 70/30 if you qualify.

How much is a bit worth?

Streamers earn $0.01 per Bit — so 1,000 Bits = $10. That rate hasn't changed since Bits launched.

Does this include sponsorships?

No — this covers Twitch's on-platform income (subs, bits, ads). Brand deals and donations (via PayPal/StreamElements) are separate and often larger.
