Twitch fees by country
Every rule on Twitch’s official schedule for United States, the market this calculator covers, as of 3 September 2026. The Plus Program's enhanced rates are earned with Plus Points and last at least 12 months once reached. The Prime Gaming row is a payout per redemption rather than a deduction, so the calculator shows the difference between the price you enter and it.
| Fee | Applies to | Rate |
|---|---|---|
| Standard subscription revenue share (50/50)This is the default rate for every monetized streamer (Affiliate or Partner) not currently qualified for the Plus Program. The component here (50%) is modelled as Twitch's share of the subscription price, per the page's own framing ("you and Twitch each receive half"). | Standard 50/50 | 50% |
| Plus Program Level 1 (60/40)Qualification: hold 100+ Plus Points for 3 consecutive calendar months (a Tier 1 recurring sub = 1 Plus Point, Tier 2 = 2, Tier 3 = 6, counted per renewal; gift subs and Prime subs do not earn Plus Points, though gift subs do earn the enhanced rate once a streamer qualifies). The enhanced rate lasts a minimum of 12 months from the qualifying date and the end date resets forward on any month the streamer requalifies. The current Plus Program page states no annual earnings cap (the $100,000 cap that used to apply to the old 70/30 "Partner Plus" rate was removed, per contemporaneous reporting in January 2024, and no cap language appears anywhere in this snapshot). | Plus Program Level 1 (60/40) | 40% |
| Plus Program Level 2 (70/30)Qualification: hold 300+ Plus Points for 3 consecutive calendar months (same point values as Level 1: Tier 1 = 1, Tier 2 = 2, Tier 3 = 6). A streamer already at Level 1 can move to Level 2 at any time on meeting the 300-point threshold for 3 consecutive months. Same 12-month minimum duration and no stated annual cap as Level 1. | Plus Program Level 2 (70/30) | 30% |
| Prime Gaming subscription (fixed payout)Per the Monetized Streamer Agreement §4.2, a redeemed Prime ("Subscription Token") pays the creator a flat, country-based "Subscription Fixed-Rate Fee" instead of a share of Net Revenue — the opposite of the three rules above. The fixed component here (225 = $2.25) is the creator's payout per US redemption, not a deduction from an entered gross price: Twitch does not publish a nominal subscription value a Prime token represents, and the payout does not vary by which tier the token nominally stands in for. Twitch "expects to update the payout rates annually" and the rate table is dated "Last updated October 10th, 2025"; Twitch may also change it at its sole discretion at any time per the Agreement. The engine must special-case paymentType "prime": netMinor is this fixed amount regardless of any entered amount; it is not computed as gross minus a fee the way the other three payment types are. Prime redemptions also do not count toward Plus Program qualification points and are not eligible for the Plus Program's enhanced net-revenue rate even once a streamer otherwise qualifies (the Plus Program page's Plus Points table lists "Prime Subs" as No/No for both columns). | Prime Gaming (fixed payout) | $2.25 |

How much does Twitch take from a $5.99 subscription?
For standard 50/50 in United States, Twitch charges 50% of the amount. Each fee line is rounded half-up to the nearest cent, as the platform bills it, and what you keep is the amount minus the sum of those lines.
A standard 50/50 subscription: on $5.99 you pay $3.00 (standard subscription revenue share (50/50)), and keep $2.99, an effective rate of 50.08%.
Plus Program Level 1, the 60/40 rate: on $5.99 you pay $2.40 (Plus Program Level 1 (60/40)), and keep $3.59, an effective rate of 40.07%.
Plus Program Level 2, the 70/30 rate: on $5.99 you pay $1.80 (Plus Program Level 2 (70/30)), and keep $4.19, an effective rate of 30.05%.
A Prime Gaming subscription at the same price: on $5.99 you pay $3.74 (difference from the fixed Prime payout), and keep $2.25, an effective rate of 62.44%.
Frequently asked questions
How much do you make from one Twitch sub?
- A Tier 1 subscription costs $5.99 on the web in the United States. At the standard 50/50 split Twitch keeps $3.00 of it and you keep $2.99, because each side's half is rounded to the cent. At Plus Program Level 1 you keep $3.59, at Level 2 $4.19, and a Prime subscription pays $2.25 instead of a share.
How much does Twitch take from $100 in subscription revenue?
- On $100 of subscription revenue the standard split leaves you $50.00 and Twitch keeps the other $50.00. The split is a straight percentage of each subscription, so it does not change with volume: the same $100 leaves $60.00 at Plus Program Level 1 and $70.00 at Level 2.
How much does a Prime sub pay a streamer?
- $2.25 per redemption in the United States. Twitch pays Prime subscriptions at a fixed rate rather than as a share of a price, so the payout is the same whichever tier the token is redeemed at, and the Plus Program's enhanced rates never apply to it. In the calculator, pick Prime Gaming and enter the tier price you would otherwise charge: the difference between that price and $2.25 is shown as the fee. Enter less than $2.25 and it shows no fee, because a payout larger than the amount entered cannot be displayed; Twitch still pays $2.25.
How do you get the 70/30 split on Twitch?
- Through the Plus Program. The 60/40 rate (Level 1) needs 100 Plus Points or more for three consecutive months; the 70/30 rate (Level 2) needs 300 or more. A Tier 1 recurring subscription is one point, Tier 2 is two and Tier 3 is six; gifted subscriptions and Prime subscriptions earn no points at all. An enhanced rate lasts at least 12 months from the qualifying date, and the pages captured for this schedule state no annual earnings cap.
Do Tier 2 and Tier 3 subs pay a different share?
- No: the same percentage split applies whichever tier a viewer buys, so a higher tier pays you more only because it costs the viewer more. Twitch publishes no US Tier 2 or Tier 3 price on any page reachable for this schedule, so the calculator presets none — enter the price your channel charges and the split applies to it. Higher tiers do count for more in the Plus Program: two points for Tier 2 and six for Tier 3, against one for Tier 1.
Are these Twitch revenue splits up to date?
- Each split is quoted verbatim from Twitch's own help pages and was checked on 3 September 2026. Every figure rests on a single official page — the enhanced rates on the Plus Program article, the standard split on the Earnings Analytics article, the $2.25 Prime rate on the Prime subscription revenue guide — so the schedule is marked single-source and is re-verified at least every 60 days.
