How Much is 1 Bit on Twitch?

The conversion rate for Twitch bits is fixed: 1 bit = $0.01 (1 cent) for the streamer. This means for every 100 bits you receive in your chat, you earn exactly $1.00.

Unlike subscriptions where Twitch takes a 50% cut, bits are paid out at 100% of their face value to the streamer. The viewer pays the markup when they purchase the bits from Twitch, so the streamer keeps the full $0.01 per bit.

Real Streamer Earnings from Bits

What different monthly bit milestones actually mean for your streaming income:

5,000 bits/mo

$50.00

Typical for growing small streamers. This provides a steady base on top of sub revenue, often driven by 2-5 loyal "super supporters" who cheer regularly.

25,000 bits/mo

$250.00

Mid-tier benchmark. Combined with ~100 subs ($250), this brings you to $500/month from core Twitch features alone, before any ad revenue or external deals.

100,000 bits/mo

$1,000.00

Elite community engagement. Reaching $1k/month in bits signals a highly loyal audience that prefers direct support. At this level, bits often rival sub revenue.
