How Twitch pays for subs
Tier 1, 2 and 3 subs cost $4.99, $9.99 and $24.99 in the US. Many countries pay less under Twitch's local pricing. Your share is your revenue split: 50% by default for Affiliates and Partners, and 60% or 70% through Partner Plus.
Prime subs and gifted subs pay the same as a Tier 1 sub. Gifted subs often come in bursts, so a month with a big gift train can look very different from a normal month.
Sub points and Partner Plus
Twitch counts sub points: 1 for Tier 1, Prime and gifted subs, 2 for Tier 2 and 6 for Tier 3. Partner Plus is based on recurring paid subs over time, so the sub points shown here are a quick check of where your month sits, not Twitch's exact Partner Plus count.

Common questions
How much does a Tier 1 sub pay on Twitch?
- About $2.50 at the 50/50 split, $3 at 60/40 and $3.50 at 70/30, from the $4.99 US price. Subs paid in other currencies or through the phone apps can pay a little differently.
How much do 100 subs make on Twitch?
- 100 Tier 1 subs at 50/50 pay about $249.50 a month, or about $2,994 a year, before tax.
Do Prime subs pay the same as paid subs?
- Yes. A Prime sub pays the streamer like a Tier 1 sub, but it doesn't renew on its own, so viewers have to use it again each month.
Do gifted subs count?
- Yes. Every gifted sub pays you the same as a Tier 1 sub the viewer bought for themselves, and counts as a sub point.
Does this include taxes?
- No. The totals are before tax. Twitch may hold back tax depending on your country and the tax forms you filled in.
