How Much Does a Twitch Streamer Make per Sub?
On the standard 50/50 revenue split, a Twitch streamer earns approximately $2.50 per Tier 1 subscription each month. Tier 2 subs pay out around $5.00, and Tier 3 subs around $12.50 — all before taxes and fees.

Understanding Twitch Revenue Splits
- 50% (Standard) — the default split for all Twitch Affiliates and most Partners. You keep half of every subscription dollar.
- 60% (Partner Plus Level 1) — available to Partners who maintain 350+ recurring paid subscriptions for 3 consecutive months.
- 70% (Partner Plus Level 2) — the top tier, reserved for Partners with the highest subscription counts on the platform.
Reaching Twitch Affiliate requirements is the first step to unlocking subscription revenue. Once you are an Affiliate, focus on growing your subscriber base so you can qualify for better splits over time.

- Promote your channel — grow your Twitch followers to expand your audience and convert more viewers into subscribers.
- Offer sub perks — exclusive emotes, badges, and sub-only chat modes give viewers a reason to subscribe rather than just watch.

Yes. Gifted subs count the same as regular subscriptions for revenue purposes. The streamer receives their share of the subscription price regardless of whether the sub was purchased by the viewer or gifted by someone else.

At the standard 50/50 split with all Tier 1 subs, 1,000 subscribers earn roughly $2,495 per month ($4.99 x 1,000 x 0.50). With a 70/30 split, that jumps to about $3,493 per month.
