Twitch Sub Revenue FAQ
Everything you need to know about calculating Twitch subscription revenue, understanding payout tiers, and managing your streamer earnings.
For most Affiliates and Partners, Twitch operates on a 50/50 revenue share model. This means a streamer earns $2.50 from a $4.99 Tier 1 sub, $4.99 from a $9.99 Tier 2 sub, and $12.50 from a $24.99 Tier 3 sub. Top-tier partners may qualify for a 70/30 split, earning $3.50 per Tier 1 sub.
Twitch offers three main subscription tiers for viewers: Tier 1 costs $4.99 per month, Tier 2 costs $9.99 per month, and Tier 3 costs $24.99 per month. Higher tiers provide the streamer with a larger revenue share and often grant the viewer exclusive emotes or badges.
Yes, Twitch Prime (or Prime Gaming) subscriptions are treated exactly like Tier 1 subscriptions. The streamer receives the standard Tier 1 payout (usually $2.50) for every Prime sub, and it counts towards their total subscriber count for tier upgrades and milestones.
Yes, Twitch introduced an opt-in program where eligible Partners can earn a 70% revenue share on net subscription revenue. To qualify, streamers must maintain a rolling average of at least 350 paid subs per month. Note that this 70% rate typically applies to desktop subs, while mobile subs may still default to 50% due to app store fees.
Yes, Twitch subscription revenue is considered taxable income in almost all jurisdictions. Streamers are responsible for reporting their earnings to their local tax authority (such as HMRC in the UK or the IRS in the US). Twitch does not automatically deduct taxes from your payout unless required by specific international tax treaties.
Twitch pays out subscriptions approximately 15 days after the end of the calendar month. For example, earnings from all subscriptions in October will be processed and deposited into the streamer’s account around November 15th, provided they meet the minimum payout threshold of $50 (or $100 for certain payment methods).
