Subscription revenue is the most reliable Twitch income source. Here's exactly how it works.
Subscriptions are the backbone of Twitch income — predictable, monthly, and compounding as your community grows. Here's exactly what you earn per sub at each tier and deal type.
| Sub Tier | Price | Standard (50%) | Legacy 70/30 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tier 1 | $4.99 | $2.50 | $3.49 |
| Tier 2 | $9.99 | $5.00 | $6.99 |
| Tier 3 | $24.99 | $12.50 | $17.49 |
| Prime Gaming Sub | Free to viewer | ~$2.50 | ~$3.49 |
In 2023, Twitch ended new 70/30 deals for most streamers. All new partners now earn the 50/50 split — one of the lowest creator revenue shares of any major platform.
| Active Tier 1 Subs | Monthly Revenue (50%) |
|---|---|
| 50 | $125 |
| 100 | $250 |
| 500 | $1,250 |
| 1,000 | $2,500 |
| 5,000 | $12,500 |
| 10,000 | $25,000 |

Twitch subscriptions are the most reliable income stream on the platform. At the 50% split, it takes discipline to build meaningful sub count — but the community that subscribes is also the community that donates bits, watches ads, and participates in sponsorships. Every sub is a compounding asset.
