Streaming income arrives from four places at four different rates, and the one people misjudge is bits — because the number of bits looks impressive and the cash value does not.

What Stream Revenue Calculator does

Adds up subscriptions, bits, donations and ad revenue into a monthly total, so you can see which source is actually carrying you.

The conversions that matter: bits are worth $0.01 each to you, and a subscription typically nets the streamer around half the sticker price — which is why the tool asks for your net per sub rather than assuming.

Detailed steps

  1. Enter subscriber count and what you actually net per sub — check your dashboard rather than guessing.
  2. Add monthly bits, donations and ad revenue.
  3. Read the total, and note which line dominates.

Worth knowing

This is gross income, not take-home. You are self-employed in most jurisdictions, so income tax and social contributions come out of it, payment processors take a cut of donations, and platforms hold payouts until you cross a threshold. Budget on something closer to two-thirds of the figure shown.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much is a bit worth?

One cent to you. Viewers pay more than that — around 1.4 cents depending on the bundle they buy — and the platform keeps the difference. So 5000 bits cheered in a month is $50 of income.

What do I actually get per subscriber?

Usually about half the sticker price, so roughly $2.50 on a $4.99 tier, though larger channels negotiate better splits and Prime subs differ. Use your real figure from the dashboard — the default here is only a common starting point.

Is this what I will be paid?

No. It is gross. Tax, self-employment contributions, processor fees on donations and platform payout thresholds all sit between this number and your bank account.

Which income source should I focus on?

The calculator shows which one dominates for you, which is usually more informative than any general advice. Subs are the most predictable, donations the most volatile, ads the least under your control.
