How to use the calculator

  1. Get your numbers

    Open your Creator Dashboard on Twitch and look at the revenue for the last 30 days: how many paid subs and Bits you had. Your tips are in the dashboard of your tipping service.

  2. Fill them in

    Subs, Bits, the number of tips and the average tip. If your viewers pay a different sub price or your country has a different VAT rate, change it under assumptions.

  3. See what you keep

    You see what is left from each source after the split and the fees, and what the same tips would pay through another service.

How the calculator works

  • Subs: the web price of a Tier 1 sub (€4.99) without VAT, times your share. By default that is 50% of the net revenue, or 60% or 70% through the Twitch Plus Program.
  • Bits: Twitch pays 1 US cent per Bit, so $1 for 100 Bits. Outside the US we convert with a fixed rate that we update from time to time.
  • Tips through DonoLink: on every tip 3.5% goes to DonoLink and you pay the Stripe transaction fee (1.5% + €0.25). There is no subscription.

The result is an estimate before income tax. Under every amount you can see how it is built up, so you can check it yourself.

What the calculator leaves out

Ads, sponsors and merch are left out on purpose: they vary too much from channel to channel to estimate fairly. Subs bought in the Apple or Google app have a different price, and Twitch works out your share of those after the app store fee.

Twitch only pays out subs and Bits once you are an Affiliate or Partner. Until then you can already receive tips through a tip page of your own.

What is left of a tip

With a tip through DonoLink, 3.5% goes to DonoLink and you pay the Stripe transaction fee (1.5% + €0.25). The viewer pays exactly the amount they choose, unless they decide to cover the fees.

TipeeeStream charges 9.45% plus €0.63 per tip according to its own fee calculator (checked on 18 July 2026).

YouTube keeps 30% of a Super Chat, calculated on the amount without VAT. PayPal is not included: its rate depends on your country, your type of account and whether the payment comes from abroad.

Frequently asked questions

How do I work out my sub income?

Take the price of a sub (€4.99), take the VAT off and keep your share of what is left: 50% by default, or 60% or 70% through the Plus Program. Multiply that by your number of paid subs per month. With the default values on this page that comes to €2.06 per sub; the calculator does the sum for you. More about making money from streaming

How much is a Bit worth?

1 US cent. You get $1 for 100 Bits and $100 for 10,000 Bits. Twitch pays in dollars, so what you receive in your own currency depends on the exchange rate on the day of the payout.

Why doesn't the calculator ask for my viewers?

Because there is no fixed amount per viewer. Two channels with the same number of viewers can earn very different amounts. Enter your real numbers from your Twitch dashboard instead, then the result actually means something.

Is the result exact to the cent?

No, it is an estimate. Prime and gift subs, subs through the app, exchange rates and tax all change the real amount. Under every source you can see how it was calculated, so you can adjust the assumptions yourself.

What does a tip through DonoLink cost?

3.5% per tip, plus the Stripe transaction fee (1.5% + €0.25). No subscription and no setup costs. If a viewer wants to cover the fees, they can do that at checkout.

Receive tips without a subscription
