How to Use This Twitch Earnings Calculator

Enter your stream statistics: average viewers, unique chatters, average stream hours per session, and how many times you stream per week. Select your audience region to get accurate CPM estimates (North America typically has the highest CPM at $3-6). The calculator automatically computes your monthly views and ad revenue. You can optionally add subscription and bits revenue for a complete earnings picture.

Revenue Calculation: This Twitch ad revenue calculator uses the formula: Ad revenue = (Monthly Views ÷ 1,000) × CPM. Monthly views are calculated from your stream stats: Average Viewers × Stream Hours × Weekly Streams × 4.33 weeks per month. Engagement rate shows the percentage of viewers who actively chat.

Maximizing Your Twitch Earnings

Focus on building a loyal subscriber base, as subscriptions provide the most stable income. Encourage bits through channel point rewards and special alerts. Run ads during natural breaks, and consider donations and sponsorships for additional revenue streams not shown in this calculator.
