    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

    1. 1Gross sub = t1×4.99 + t2×9.99 + t3×24.99
    2. 2Twitch cut from subs = grossSub × (1 - creatorSplit)
    3. 3Net sub = grossSub × creatorSplit
    4. 4Bits monthly = bitsPerStream × streams
    5. 5Ads monthly = adPerStream × streams
    6. 6Outside = sponsorships + donations
    7. 7Total gross = grossSub + bits + ads + outside
    8. 8Net after Twitch = totalGross - twitchCut
    9. 9Operating = equipment + software + internet
    10. 10Net profit = netAfterTwitch - operating
    11. 11Margin = netProfit ÷ totalGross ×100
    12. 12Effective Twitch = twitchCut ÷ totalGross ×100
    13. 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%

    Gross sub $474.14, Twitch cut $237.07, net sub $237.07, bits $240, ads $192, total gross $906.14, net after Twitch $669.07, equipment $50+software $30+internet $40=$120 operating, net profit $549.07 margin 60.6%, effective Twitch 26.16%, tax $137.27, after-tax $411.80. At 70/30: net profit $643.90 after-tax $482.93.
