How it works
Methodology & formulas
This calculator is transparent by design. Review the steps and formulas so you can trust the estimate and adjust assumptions when your dashboard differs.
Calculation steps
- 1Gross sub = t1×4.99 + t2×9.99 + t3×24.99
- 2Twitch cut from subs = grossSub × (1 - creatorSplit)
- 3Net sub = grossSub × creatorSplit
- 4Bits monthly = bitsPerStream × streams
- 5Ads monthly = adPerStream × streams
- 6Outside = sponsorships + donations
- 7Total gross = grossSub + bits + ads + outside
- 8Net after Twitch = totalGross - twitchCut
- 9Operating = equipment + software + internet
- 10Net profit = netAfterTwitch - operating
- 11Margin = netProfit ÷ totalGross ×100
- 12Effective Twitch = twitchCut ÷ totalGross ×100
- 13Tax = max(0, profit) × tax%
Formulas
- GrossSub = t1×4.99 + t2×9.99 + t3×24.99
- TwitchCut = grossSub × (1 - split)
- NetSub = grossSub × split
- BitsMonthly = bitsPerStream × streams
- AdsMonthly = adPerStream × streams
- TotalGross = grossSub + bits + ads + spons + donations
- NetAfterTwitch = totalGross - twitchCut
- NetProfit = netAfterTwitch - equipment - software - internet
Important assumptions
- Sub prices $4.99 Tier1, $9.99 Tier2, $24.99 Tier3 gross
- 50/50 split = you 50%, Twitch 50%. 70/30 toggle = you 70% Twitch 30%
- Bits and ad per stream inputs assumed net you receive — already after Twitch share, not subtracted again
- Sponsorships and donations have 0% Twitch cut
- Total gross = grossSub + bitsMonthly + adsMonthly + sponsorships + donations
- Twitch cut only from subs gross (bits and ads already net)
- Net after Twitch = totalGross - twitchCut
- Net profit = netAfterTwitch - equipment - software - internet
Worked example
Small partner 86 subs, bits $15/stream, ads $12/stream, 16 streams
80 Tier1, 5 Tier2, 1 Tier3, 50/50, bits $15 per stream, ads $12, 16 streams, $0 sponsorships/donations, $50 equip, $30 software, $40 internet, tax 25%
