Frequently Asked Questions

Twitch streamers make $2.50 per Tier 1 sub ($4.99), $5.00 per Tier 2 sub ($9.99), and $12.50 per Tier 3 sub ($24.99). This is based on the standard 50/50 revenue split between Twitch and streamers. Partners in the Partner Plus program (70/30 split) earn $3.50, $7.00, and $17.50 respectively.

Most streamers earn $2.50 per subscription since the majority of subs are Tier 1. With the standard 50/50 split, a streamer with 100 subscribers makes $250/month, 500 subs makes $1,250/month, and 1,000 subs makes $2,500/month from subscriptions alone.

Partner Plus is a 70/30 revenue split for eligible partners. Instead of $2.50 per Tier 1 sub, you earn $3.50 - an extra $1 per sub. Requirements: maintain 350+ paid subs for 3 months, stream 40+ hours monthly, stream 12+ unique days per month, and average 75+ concurrent viewers.

Yes, Prime Gaming subscriptions (free for Amazon Prime members) pay streamers the same as regular Tier 1 subs - $2.50 with standard split or $3.50 with Partner Plus. The difference is viewers don't pay extra; it's included with their Prime membership. Prime subs must be manually renewed each month.

Most streamers earn 2-4x their subscription revenue from other sources combined. For example, a streamer making $250/month from 100 subs typically earns an additional $250-$750 from bits, ads, donations, and sponsorships, bringing their total to $500-$1,000/month.
