Twitch Bits revenue calculator.
Enter the Bits cheered in your channel each month. The tool converts them at the per-Bit rate, adds Bits spent in extensions at your share, and shows the months to reach a payout minimum. Runs in your browser; nothing is sent or stored.
Bits revenue = Bits cheered x $0.01. 50,000 Bits is $500.00; 1,000 Bits is $10.00.

Worked example
50,000 Bits cheered at one cent each is $500.00 a month, $6,000.00 a year. Bits spent in extensions pay whatever share Twitch Help lists for extensions, which you enter in its own field. Against a $50.00 payout minimum, Bits alone clear it in the first month.
How it works
Twitch's Partner Program overview says Partners get a share of the revenue Twitch receives from Bits equal to 1 cent per Bit used to Cheer for them. Twitch's 13 May 2026 blog post says streamers must earn Affiliate or Partner status to receive a payout and Bits spent in extensions are shared with the extension developer, so look up the current extension share in Twitch Help and enter it in its field; it is left at zero (full rate) until you do.
The rate and payout minimum are fields so you can change them if Twitch updates its terms. Bits that viewers buy cost them more than a cent each; that difference is Twitch's and is not part of your income.
This tool prices Bits only. Subs, ads and sponsorships are separate, and taxes and fees are not modelled.
