Twitch Bits Calculator

100 Bits is Twitch's smallest bundle and costs a viewer $1.40 to buy. The streamer who receives a 100-Bit cheer is paid a flat $1.00 (100 Bits x $0.01). The gap is Twitch's cut, the same way a card processor or app store takes a fee.

1,000 Bits does not match a single Twitch bundle exactly, so a viewer typically buys the 500-Bit bundle twice at $7.00 each, for about $14.00 total. The streamer's payout is exact regardless of how the Bits were purchased: 1,000 Bits x $0.01 = $10.00.

Twitch sells a 5,000-Bit bundle directly for $64.40, which works out to about $0.0129 per Bit, cheaper than buying smaller bundles to reach the same total. The streamer earns a flat $50.00 for 5,000 Bits (5,000 x $0.01), no matter which bundle the viewer bought.

100,000 Bits isn't a single bundle either; the cheapest way to reach it is buying the 25,000-Bit bundle ($308.00) four times, about $1,232.00 total. The streamer's payout stays exact and flat: 100,000 Bits x $0.01 = $1,000.00.

One million Bits, bought entirely in 25,000-Bit bundles at $308.00 each, costs a viewer roughly $12,320.00. The streamer is paid a flat $0.01 per Bit either way, so 1,000,000 Bits pays out exactly $10,000.00. Very few single cheers ever reach this size; it usually adds up over an event like a Hype Train or a charity stream.

It depends which side of the transaction you mean. To a viewer buying Bits, they cost between about $0.0123 and $0.0140 each in USD, cheaper in bigger bundles. To a streamer receiving cheered Bits, each one is worth exactly $0.01, a flat rate set by Twitch and unrelated to what the viewer paid for their bundle.

$0.01 USD per Bit, flat. This rate has held since Bits launched and is not tiered by partner status, viewer count, or channel size. Cheering 1,000 Bits always pays a streamer $10.00, whether it comes from one big cheer or a hundred 10-Bit cheers.

Yes. Unlike subscriptions, where Partners can qualify for Twitch's 70/30 Partner Plus split on top of the standard 50/50, Bits have no tier system at all. Every Affiliate and every Partner is paid the same flat $0.01 per Bit cheered to their channel.

Because they are two separate numbers. The viewer buys a bundle of Bits at Twitch's advertised bundle price, in USD (or the local-currency equivalent, plus tax where it applies). Twitch then pays the streamer a flat $0.01 per Bit cheered, regardless of the bundle price the viewer paid. The difference is Twitch's share, similar in spirit to a payment processing fee.

No. The bundle size only changes what the viewer pays per Bit, not what the streamer earns per Bit. A 25,000-Bit cheer pays the streamer exactly $250.00 whether the viewer bought one 25,000-Bit bundle or stacked several smaller ones to get there.
